History

Historical Context

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 3, abolished national origin quotas, significantly increasing immigration from Asia and Latin America. This shift led to a tripling of Asian immigrants by 1978, reshaping U.S. demographics. Recent protests in Minnesota against ICE highlight ongoing tensions over immigration enforcement, reflecting historical resistance to federal policies and the need for reform.
