History

Historical Context

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 3, abolished the National Origins Formula, which had favored Northern and Western Europeans since the 1920s. This landmark legislation increased immigration from diverse regions, leading to over 10 million documented entries from 1991 to 2000, and continues to influence contemporary debates on immigration policy and civil rights.
