Question

Which of the following was a result of the passage of the Immigration Act of 1924?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Immigration Act of 1924, including the National Origins Act, and the Asian Exclusion Act were a federal law in the United States that restricted immigration from each country to 2% of the number from the same country living in the United States at the 1890 census, instead of 3% as on the Immigration Restriction Act of 1921. The law replaced the 1921 Emergency Quota Act. The law was mainly aimed at limiting immigration from southern Europe and eastern Europe, as well as from the Middle East, East Asia and India. It has been seen as an attempt to preserve a "homogeneous ideal" of anglo-saxon Americans.
