History

Historical Context

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, abolished national origin quotas that had favored Northern and Western Europeans since the 1920s. This landmark legislation led to a 300% increase in immigration from Asia and Latin America, reshaping U.S. demographics. Ongoing tensions regarding immigration enforcement in cities like Minneapolis reflect the long-term impacts of these policy changes.
