Question
the main goal of the emergency quota act of 1921 was to
limit the number of
immigrants from a given
country.
restrict the immigration of
asians to the united
states.
ban immigration between
the years of 1901 and
1921
end immigration from
germany.
The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 aimed to limit immigration. It set quotas based on nationality. For example, it used the 1910 census to determine the number of immigrants allowed from each country. This was a form of restriction but not a complete ban. Asians were already restricted by earlier laws (like the Chinese Exclusion Act). Banning immigration between 1901 - 1921 or ending immigration from Germany specifically was not the main goal. The key was limiting numbers per country.
