The Civil Rights Revolution Comes to Immigration Law: A New Look at the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965

The 1965 Immigration Nationality Act may be the most important of the great social civil rights initiatives. This bill has eliminated the preference for Caucasian who had been the central feature of the US immigration law and nationality law since 1790 and as a result diversification of immigrant flow has for the decades the United States "majority minority" I will do it in the country. From the point of view of parliament that passed the bill, many commentators believe that the diversity caused by racially neutral immigration policy is unexpected, unpopular, or both. This article borrowed from the history of legislation to review this issue and interviewed key legislators such as other ministers including Gerald R. Ford and Nicholas de B. Katzenbach and other participants' bill. This article concludes that Congress is likely to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Grammar Congress, denying that the United States is a white country. Congress actually excludes racial discrimination and we are willing to welcome the diversity that it knows.

What has changed? In 1965, when "discrimination prohibition" was included in the law through the "Civil Rights Act", the existing immigration laws were forced to revise the basis - the 1965 "Immigration Nationality Act" was enacted and our borders Was opened - and the rest is vibrant and prosperous South Asian American history. Besides becoming a collateral beneficiary of the victory of African-American rights here, entering a country with far less racial discrimination and no apartheid is another fight we do not need to fight . Needless to say, blacks are still fighting for economic, educational equality, and many other torts that we rarely participate (police brutality).

The year after the "Civil Rights Act" in 1964 and the "Rights Right Law" in 1965, the "Immigration Nationality Act" became a major achievement in the civil rights era. Country of origin honored immigrants from Northern Europe and Western Europe, and completely excluded Asian immigrants, but the act of 1965 opened the doors for immigrants from all over the world. In 1965, fewer than 10 million Americans were born overseas, accounting for 8% of the total population of the United States. Today, this number reaches 45 million, accounting for 13.9% of the US population.

The US version of Helen Walker's democracy was canceled by the "Civil Rights Act" in 1964, the "Voting Rights Act of 1965" and the "Immigration Naturalization Act of 1965". What was the problem in the latter half of the civil rights revolution? Americans argue with four schools: national nationalism, nationalism, multinationalism, and cultural nationalism. Each school tries to create an alternative to an old white man by embedding the American identity in one of the three unbundled race components.
