Immigration in the early 20th century was extremely high relative to 19th Century levels. The First restriction was the Immigration Quota Act of 1921. This limited European immigration initially to 3 percent of each country's foreign-born population in the U.S. as of the most recent census. This restriction was subsequently reduced to 2 percent of each nation's number of foreign-born residents as of the 1890 census. This shift had the effect of discriminating against those from Southern and Eastern Europe, who came to the U.S. primarily after 1890.
