About this service
The 1924 Immigration Act, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act, was a historic law that established strict national origin quotas, drastically limiting immigration to the United States for several decades. While it is no longer the law of the land, it remains a significant topic in historical and legal discussions regarding how U.S. immigration policy has evolved. It does not directly affect modern individual immigration applications, but it provides context for current legislative debates.
