On October 3rd, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed into law the Immigration Act.
The 1965 Act did two big things, and a multitude of small ones.
The first big thing it did: abolish the old National-Origins quotas, established in 1921, revised in 1924 and 1929. The idea of the quotas was to maintain demographic stability by limiting settlement from any European country to some fixed percent of that country’s representation in a recent census.
