Answer: the fear of a second wave of communist (and other radical) immigrants.
Explanation: The 1921 Emergency Quota Act grew out of post–World War I nativism and the Red Scare — fears after the Russian Revolution and 1919 domestic unrest that radicals and communists would enter and destabilize the U.S. (Racial and economic worries also influenced the law, but anti‑radical fear was a central driving motive.)
