History

Historical Context

The Immigration Act of 1990 reformed U.S. immigration policy by raising annual legal immigration levels to 700,000 and introducing the Diversity Visa Lottery to enhance immigrant diversity. This followed the significant changes initiated by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which abolished racial quotas and reshaped the demographic landscape.
