Answer:
One effect of the Immigration Act of 1965 on Latin Americans was that it made it easier for them to enter the United States.
Explanation:
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 abolished the national quotas imposed by the National Origins Formula, in force in the United States since the Immigration Act of 1921. It was proposed by Rep. Emanuel Celler, of New York, co-sponsored by United States Senator Philip Hart of Michigan, and strongly supported by Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts.
An annual maximum limit of 300,000 visas was established for immigrants, including 170,000 for countries in the Eastern Hemisphere, with no more than 20,000 per country. In 1968, the annual limitation for the Western Hemisphere was set at 120,000 immigrants, with visas available depending on the order of arrival. However, the number of visas for family reunification was unlimited.
By equalizing immigration directives, the law gave rise to new immigration from extra-European nations, which has changed the ethnic composition of the United States. Immigration doubled between 1965 and 1970, and doubled again between 1970 and 1990. The most dramatic effect was that it redirected immigration from Europe to Asia and Latin America.
