What did the Immigration Act of 1965 do?Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
It abolished quotas.
B
It encouraged immigration of skilled workers.
C
It created the bracero program.
D
It established special exceptions for people in trouble and families seeking to reunite.

Explanation

The Immigration Act of 1965 abolished the national-origins quota system and emphasized family reunification and immigration by people with needed skills. It also made special provisions for refugees and others facing hardship. The bracero program, which brought Mexican workers to the United States for temporary agricultural work, began in 1942—not in 1965—so C does not apply.
