The important piece of legislation passed during Harding's administration is the Emergency Quota Act of 1921, which limited the number of immigrants entering the U.S. It established a quota system that restricted immigration based on the population of existing immigrants from each country. This legislation reflected nativist sentiments and aimed to reduce immigration primarily from Southern and Eastern Europe.
