I wish the US would’ve adopted this model two hundred years ago. I suppose melting pots can work in theory, but when one of the major two political parties subsides solely on pushing racist and otherwise divisive language, the result is a large quotient of this country ends up hating it and not taking care of it. Maybe I’m cynical in my late 30s, but I think we’ve long since crossed the cultural Rubicon. Americans have become far too stupid, lazy, and entitled to understand or even care about what’s happening here.

Changes Introduced by the Immigration Act of 1965 Among the key changes brought by the Hart-Celler Act: Quotas based on nation of origin were abolished. For the first time since the National Origins Quota system went into effect in 1921, national origin was no longer a barrier to immigration. “With the end of preferences for northern and western Europeans, immigrants were selected based on individual merit rather than race or national origin,” Chin says. “Accordingly, there were many more immigrants from Asia, Africa and other parts of the world which had traditionally been discriminated against.” The act also established new immigration policies that looked at reuniting families and giving priority to skilled laborers and professionals.
