How did immigration policies of the 1920s compare to immigration policies of the 1960s?

The 1920s immigration laws, especially the quota laws of 1921 and 1924, sharply restricted immigration and favored people from certain countries. In contrast, the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act ended the national-origins quota system and allowed more immigration through family and employment preferences. Therefore, the policies of the 1920s limited immigration, while those of the 1960s expanded it.
