Question 21 • 11011de2 CONNECTED Fall 2026 NM-US History and Geography S2

What did passage of the Immigration Act of 1965 accomplish?

Answer
A
The law lowered the number of Asians allowed to immigrate to the US.
B
The law allowed no more immigration from European nations.
C
The law supported victims of political persecution.
D
The law made an effort to establish a quota system.

Explanation

The Immigration Act of 1965 ended the national-origins quota system that had favored immigration from Europe. It created new immigration preferences, including provisions for refugees fleeing persecution. So the best answer is that the law supported victims of political persecution; it did not lower Asian immigration or bar Europeans.
