3 окт 1965 г. - Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965

Описание:

Commonly known as the Hart–Celler Act after its two main sponsors—Senator Philip A. Hart of Michigan and Representative Emanuel Celler of New York—the law overhauled America’s immigration system during a period of deep global instability. The law capped the number of annual visas at 290,000, which included a restriction of 20,000 visas per country per year. But policymakers had vastly underestimated the number of immigrants who would take advantage of the family reunification clause. In particular, the law created new opportunities for immigrants from Asian nations to join relatives in America. Following Hart–Celler, annual immigration jumped to nearly a half million people, and only 20 percent came from Europe.
