  Laws, Regulations, and Guides Immigration and Nationality Act   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Before the INA, a variety of statutes governed immigration law but were not organized in one location.
The Act has been amended many times over the years, but is still the basic body of immigration law.
For example, Section 208 of the INA deals with asylum, and is also contained in 8 U.S.C. Although it is correct to refer to a specific section by either its INA citation or its U.S. code, the INA citation is more commonly used.

Joseph Errigo, National Chairman of the Sons of Italy Committee on Immigration, was upset at the small size of Italy's quota and urged Congress to "abolish a system which is gradually becoming unpopular and inoperative." Italy had 249,583 people waiting for admission into the United States.
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.

 Immigration and Nationality Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) of 1952 (Also known as the McCarran-Walter Act) restricted immigration into the U.S. and is codified under Title 8 of the United States Code.
As a result of the September 11, 2001 attacks, the INA has undergone a major restructuring beginning in March 2003 and its provisions regarding the admissibility and removability of terrorist suspects has received much media and scholarly attention.
Parts of the McCarran-Walter act remain in place today but much of it was overturned by the Immigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965.

 SECTION 235A OF THE IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT
Section 235A of the Immigration and Nationality Act, requires the Attorney General to establish and maintain certain preinspection stations provided the foreign countries concerned have consented to the establishment of such stations on their territory and provided that certain other preconditions have been satisfied.
Prior to the passage of section 235A, the INA authorized, but did not require, the establishment of preinspection stations, and the relevant statutory provisions were neither modified nor repealed by passage of section 235A.
Specifically, under INA § 103(a)(7), 8 U.S.C. § 1103(a)(7), the Attorney General "may, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, establish offices of the [INS] in foreign countries." Pursuant to that authority, the INS established and maintains preinspection stations at airports in Canada, Ireland, Bermuda, and several other ports of embarkation in the Caribbean.

 The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965
With the end of organized Filipino labor importation, the increase in the number of Filipinos migrating to the U.S. in the 1950s was as a result of petitioned spouses and children.
But the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 allowed for a new and different wave of Filipino migration.
On the other hand, the "occupational immigration" clause in the 1965 immigration law was in response to the need for more professionals, specifically in the medical field, in the U.S. Thousands of Filipino professionals, mostly doctors and nurses, arrived in the U.S. as complete families, i.e.

The Immigration and Nationality Act, popularly known as the Hart-Cellar Act, was signed into law on 3 October 1965, abolishing the "national origins" quota system established in 1924.
The Immigration and Nationality Act established a new quota system of 20,000 from each country with a total of 170,000 immigrants allowed each year and allowed exemptions for reunifying families.
