History

Historical Context

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 3, abolished the national origins quota system that had favored Northern and Western Europeans since the 1920s. This landmark legislation allowed over 1 million immigrants annually from Asia and Latin America, significantly altering U.S. demographics and fostering diverse communities, while reinforcing the importance of due process in immigration law.
