Emergency Quota Act of 1921  

Definición

  • Also known at the Emergency Immigration Act of 1921, the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 proved to be a highly controversial piece of legislation, placing, for the first time, a direct quota on nationalities for immigration into America. Proponents of the measure cited anarchist and unlawful elements of the migrant population as well as adverse impacts of foreign labor influxes on American workers.
