The Johnson - Reed Immigration Act of 1924 established national - origin quotas. It restricted immigration from southern and eastern Europe and favored northern Europeans. The Chinese Exclusion Act was mainly about excluding Chinese laborers. The Immigration Act of 1917 imposed a literacy test. The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 was a precursor but the Johnson - Reed Act refined and extended the quota system with more restrictive measures for southern and eastern Europeans.
