Fact-checks show Trump exaggerated inflation and drug prices, including a claimed 600 percent drop in drug costs.

History

Historical Context

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 3, abolished national origin quotas that had favored Northern and Western Europeans since the 1920s. This landmark legislation significantly increased immigration from Asia and Latin America, reshaping the U.S. demographic landscape. Current debates on immigration, including mass deportations under Trump, echo the historical tensions surrounding these policies.
