Answer:Up until 1960, immigration policy kept the amount of immigrants coming to the US under control. The Immigration and Naturalization Act, also known as the Hart-Celler Act, was repealed (removed the cap) in 1965, allowing more immigrants from Asia, Africa, and Latin America—but not from Europe—to join the country.

immigration policy maintained the control of the number of immigrants to US until 1960. in 1965, the Immigration and Naturalization Act also known as Hart-Celler Act, abolished (removed the limit), and more people around the world, such as Asia, Africa, and Latin America, but not Europe, were able to enter the United States under the new law.
