	Immigration and Nationality Services (INS) Act of 1965 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Immigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965 (also known as the Hart-Celler Act or the INS Act of 1965) abolished the national-origin quotas that had been in place in the United States since the Immigration Act of 1924.
		The Act was influenced by the Civil Rights Movement.
		The Act also began the rejuvenation of the Asian American community in the United States by abolishing the strict quotas that had restricted immigration from Asia since 1882.

	VDARE - Time to Rethink Immigration?
		Annual legal immigration of some 950,000-counting the 140,000 refugees and the 100,000 granted political asylum-is overwhelmed by the 2 to 3 million illegal entries into the country every year, which result in a net annual increase of perhaps 250,000 illegal aliens.
		Immigration has never been relatively higher than when the second Pilgrim Father came down the gangplank, increasing the Plymouth Colony's population by 100 per cent.
		But in fact the 1965 Act cut back a continuing flow: the number of British immigrants, for example, had been running at around 28,000 a year and was immediately reduced by about half.

		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.
		Immigration from northern and western Europe shriveled to less than one-tenth of the total, despite Senator Kennedy's recent efforts to enlarge the flow of Irish.

	The Case against Immigration as We Know It by Peter Brimelow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Immigration in the 1980s contributed a significantly higher proportion of population growth (37.1 percent) than it did in the legendary 1900–1910 decade (27.8 percent).
		Point #3 in the case against immigration: what is at issue is not immigration in principle but immigration in practice: the fatally flawed 1965 act and the system based on it.
		Specifically, it is the result of the Immigration Act of 1965 and the further legislation of 1986 and 1990.

		Subsequent acts reinforcing the exclusion of Chinese immigrant were passed in 1884, 1886 and 1888.
		"The Immigration Act of 1924 barred entry of 'aliens ineligible to citizenship'; because Japanese and other Asians were barred by the 1790 naturalization law stipulating that 'whites only' could be naturalized as citizens, the 1924 act totally excluded them from immigration" (Lowe 180-81fn14).
		The Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934 cut Filipino immigration to a quota of fifty persons per year, and all Filipinos in the United States were reclassified as 'aliens.' [Ö] The U.S. exclusion of Filipino immigration was continually connected with the issue of Philippine independence from U.S. colonization.

	Immigration Act: 1965
		This act, also known as the Hart-Cellar Act [1], not only allows more individuals from third world countries to enter the US (including Asians, who have traditionally been hindered from entering America), but also entails a separate quota for refugees.
		[5] The Immigration Act was therefore a corrective measure instituted to atone for past history of discrimination in immigration.
		For instance, under the McCarran-Walter Act, while the quota for European immigrants was 149,667, the quota for Asian immigrants was 2,990, and the African quota was 1,400.

		Thanks to low immigration, the swamp of cheap labor was largely drained during this period, America became a fundamentally middle-class society, and our many European ethnic groups were brought together into a common national culture.
		Born of liberal ideology, the 1965 bill abolished the national origins quota system that had regulated the ethnic composition of immigration in fair proportion to each group's existing presence in the population.
		In 1965, Senator Hugh Scott, R-Pennsylvania, opined, "I doubt if this bill will really be the cause of crowding the present Americans out of the 50 states."

	REVOLUTION IN AMERICA - The Immigration Reform Act of 1965. [Free Republic]
		The Immigration acts of 1921 and 1924 were intended to preserve a stable status quo by imposing a national origins quota system.
		Furthermore, although the formal immigration quota was raised only slightly, the measure allowed for theoretically unlimited "non-quota" immigration for refugees, asylum seekers, and relatives of naturalized citizens for purposes of "family reunification" (also known as "chain immigration").
		The immigration acts that were put in place in the 20s were widely applauded and slowed down what was then a tremendous problem (and for all your people who claim anti-immigration laws are "racist", please note the the people MOST affected by the 1920s laws were EUROPEANS coming to America ILLEGALLY).
