The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 abolished the immigration quota system. The quota system, which was initially established by the Immigration Act of 1924, limited the number of immigrants allowed into the United States based on their country of origin. The 1965 Act replaced this quota system with a more egalitarian approach that prioritized family reunification and skills-based immigration. Rather than imposing restrictions based on nationality, the law focused on factors such as family relationships, job skills, and humanitarian considerations. To confirm this answer, you could refer to the specific provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 or review reputable sources such as official government documents and historical accounts on the topic.
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 abolished the immigration quota system, which was a policy that placed limits on the number of immigrants allowed to enter the United States based on their country of origin. This act established a new system that prioritized family reunification and skilled workers, rather than nationality. Therefore, option 1, an immigration quota system, is correct. The other options listed, monetary qualifications for entry, criminal penalties for undocumented entry, and an open borders policy, were not directly abolished by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.
