Detailed explanation-1: -The Immigration Act of 1924, or Johnson–Reed Act, including the Asian Exclusion Act and National Origins Act ( Pub. L. 68–139, 43 Stat. 153, enacted May 26, 1924), was a United States federal law that prevented immigration from Asia and set quotas on the number of immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the 1920s, Congress passed a series of immigration quotas. The quotas were applied on a country-by-country basis and therefore restricted immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe more than immigration from Northern and Western Europe.
Detailed explanation-3: -On this date, the House passed the 1924 Immigration Act-a measure which was a legislative expression of the xenophobia, particularly towards eastern and southern European immigrants, that swept America in the decade of the 1920s.
Detailed explanation-4: -European Immigration: 1880-1920 In that decade alone, some 600, 000 Italians migrated to America, and by 1920 more than 4 million had entered the United States. Jews from Eastern Europe fleeing religious persecution also arrived in large numbers; over 2 million entered the United States between 1880 and 1920.
