Immigrants from Mexico were largely excluded from the quota system established by the Immigration acts, particularly the Immigration Act of 1924, due to their status as a neighboring country and the economic needs of the United States. The labor demands in agriculture and other industries created a reliance on Mexican labor, leading to more lenient policies for their entry. Additionally, the racial and national biases of the time favored certain European immigrants, while Mexican immigrants were often seen as essential for fulfilling labor shortages. This resulted in their exclusion from strict immigration quotas that applied to other nationalities.
