In the 1920s, the United States passed the Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act. This legislation established national origin quotas, restricting the number of immigrants allowed entry based on their country of birth. The quotas favored Western and Northern European immigrants while severely limiting immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as Asia.

The Immigration Act of 1990 increased immigration quotas and eased remaining restrictions. After the law was enacted the amount of immigrants admitted increased to 700,000 annually.
Congress exempted some refugees from immigration quotas in the Immigration Reform Act of 1990 to address humanitarian concerns and acknowledge the unique circumstances faced by individuals fleeing persecution and conflict. This exemption was aimed at facilitating the resettlement of vulnerable populations, including those from war-torn regions or oppressive regimes, thereby promoting international human rights and providing relief to those in dire situations. By doing so, Congress aimed to balance immigration control with compassionate assistance for those in need.

The new laws in the 1920s significantly changed US immigration policy by introducing quotas and restrictions. The Immigration Act of 1921 established the first-ever numerical quotas for immigrants based on their nationality. The Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act, further restricted immigration by setting even stricter quotas based on the national origins of immigrants and completely banned immigration from certain regions, particularly Asia. These laws aimed to limit immigration and preserve the ethnic composition of the United States.
