The quota system, incorporateil in the Immigration Act of 1924 for countries whose peoples are eligible to become citizens of the United States, provides that the annual quota of any nationality "sha1 be two per cent. of the number of foreign-born Individuals of such nationality resident in continental United States as determined by the United States Census of 1890, but the minimum quota of any nation ality shall be 100,”
