	THE IMPACT OF THE IMMIGRATION ACT
		Family-based immigration increased by 16.9 percent to 528,551, whereas employment-based immigration increased by 72.3 percent to 101,418.
		Immigration not subject to the numerical cap fell by 7.7 percent, and in 1995-1996 accounted for 16.3 percent of total immigration compared to 21.1 percent during 1990-1991.
		Thus the Immigration Act of 1990 appears clearly to have had the effect of boosting employment-related immigration, which was one of the major objectives of the new law.

		The Hart-Celler Act, as it was called at the time, abolished the national origins quota system installed in the 1920s, shifting the basis for selection from an applicant's nation of birth to his or her family relationships or skills.
		The importance of the law lay not in any change in immigration's volume or composition, sponsors said, but in its overdue elimination of the odious discrimination in US immigration law in favor of or against people on the basis of where they were born.

		The central purpose of the administration's immigration bill is to once again undo discrimination and to revise the standards by which we choose potential Americans in order to be fairer to them and which will certainly be more beneficial to us.
		Another factor in intensifying the impact of immigration is a reduced rate of emigration — that is, more of today's newcomers stay for their whole lives, rather than returning to the old country after a few years.
		In addition, the act instituted a system to give preference (within the national origins quotas) to foreigners with education or skills, as well as relatives — this was the predecessor of today's preference system.
