What impact did the civil rights movement have on US immigration policies in the 1960s?

The civil rights movement drew attention to racial discrimination and strengthened demands for equality in American laws and institutions. In 1965, Congress replaced immigration quotas that favored certain national origins with a system based more on family ties and skills. This reflected a growing awareness of the need for fairness in immigration policy, so the best answer is “It made people more aware of the need for equality and fairness in policies.”
