The Immigration Act of 1924 was primarily driven by a growing nativist sentiment in the United States, fueled by fears of cultural dilution and economic competition from immigrants, particularly from Southern and Eastern Europe. The act aimed to limit immigration through strict quotas based on the 1890 census, favoring Northern and Western Europeans. This legislation reflected the broader social and political climate of the time, which was marked by a desire to preserve the perceived homogeneity of American society. Additionally, the influence of eugenics and racial theories further shaped public opinion and policy regarding immigration.
