Detailed explanation-1: -The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 established the nation’s first numerical limits on the number of immigrants who could enter the United States. The Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the National Origins Act, made the quotas stricter and permanent.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fears of increased immigration after the end of World War I and the spread of radicalism propelled Congress to enact this “emergency” measure imposing drastic quantitative caps on immigration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Finally, it allowed no more than 150, 000 total immigrants who fell within the parameters of the quota system to enter the U.S. in any one year. After Senate passage, the Immigration Act was signed into law in late May 1924.
