Answer:

The act removed de facto discrimination against Southern and Eastern Europeans and Asians, as well as other non-Western and Northern European ethnic groups from American immigration policy.

Answer:

This act removed de facto discrimination against southern and Eastern Europeans and Asians. The quotas were applied on a country by country basis which restricted immigration. From my reading, I learned that some people were actually pushed into lower paying jobs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that quotas can make imported good more expensive for us, the consumers. Quotas can lead to trade wars and then the money system goes crazy too. The economy just becomes less efficient. Quotas can make the prices go up and then we do not have as many options to choose from. People will have to pay higher prices for certain goods.

Think of how the supply chain is working now and how slow it can be to get items to people that need it.
