What was the significance of the Immigration Act of 1924? It limited Mexican immigration for the first time. It created a category of special immigrants that included the relatives of US citizens. It opened up immigration for all because the nation needed labor for its industries. It set quotas on immigration from certain areas of Europe, Asia, and Africa.

National Origins Act The National Origins Act was a discriminatory U.S. immigration law passed in 1924. It established admission quotas and was designed to curtail immigration from new source countries such as Russia, Poland, and Italy by allocating them small quotas; it allowed immigration from older source countries, such as England, by allocating them large quotas. Initially the quotas were set at 2 percent of a country's foreign-born residents in the United States in 1890. In 1929 quotas were apportioned according to the national origins or roots of the total U.S. population, enlarging England's quota. The legislation included a clause that completely barred immigration for all those prohibited from attaining U.S. citizenship, specifically, Asians.
