President Coolidge signed the immigration bill amid fierce opposition to the Japanese exclusion date, while defending the need to place the measure on the statute books. The law sets national quotas at 2 percent of the 1890 census, reducing total annual admissions to 161,990, with further cuts and a shift to national origin quotas from 1927, favoring Northwestern Europe over the Southwest.
