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 increased immigration from Asia and Africa, reshaping U.S. demographics. Today’s protests against ICE highlight ongoing tensions rooted in these historical changes and their impact on immigrant communities.
