History

Historical Context

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 3, abolished discriminatory national origin quotas that had favored Northern and Western Europeans since the 1920s. This landmark legislation significantly diversified U.S. immigration, increasing arrivals from Asia and Africa. Recent incidents involving ICE have reignited debates over immigration enforcement, reflecting ongoing tensions in U.S. immigration policy.
