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, Africa, and Latin America, reshaping the U.S. demographic landscape and contributing to ongoing debates about immigration enforcement and community tensions, particularly in cities like Minneapolis.
