The Immigration Act of 1990 raised the ceiling on immigration offamilies from 216000 to 480000, allowing more immigrants into the U.S.

One result was that the act doubled the immigrants allowed into the USA, and created a lottery for visas. This helped decrease xenophobia and ease tension. Another noteworthy result of this act was that it removed homosexuality as grounds of exclusion from immigration and/or naturalization.
