19 Mai 1924 Jahr - Quota System

Beschreibung:

The 1924 act supplanted earlier acts to effectively ban all immigration from Asia and set a total immigration quota of 165,000 for countries outside the Western Hemisphere, an 80% reduction from the average before World War I. Quotas for specific countries were based on 2% of the US population from that country recorded in the 1890 census. As a result, populations poorly represented in 1890 were prevented from immigrating in proportionate numbers especially affecting Italians, Greeks and Eastern European Jews, as well as Poles and other Slavs
