Abstract

The article delves into the Immigration Act of 1924, known as Johnson-Reed, which shaped immigration policies in the U.S., favoring white Northern Europeans while restricting Southern Europeans and Asians. This legislation, rooted in racist eugenics ideology, set quotas based on the 1890 census to preserve the ethnic makeup of the U.S. and was championed by figures like Albert Johnson. Despite its repeal in 1965, Johnson-Reed's legacy persists in contemporary immigration debates.
