lubasha [3.4K]3 years ago

Even though the Panama Canal is considered to be one of the most prominent engineering marvels of the world, it is literally built on many losses. During building the Canal more than 25,000 people died, mostly because of disease. Over 20,000 people died when the French set a hope to build the canal, and  5,000 died when the Americans did it successfully. It is a really huge sacrifice.

The Immigration Act of 1965
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Abolished the old immigration quotas.

Explanation:

Since the Immigration Act of 1924, immigration was based on a national-origins quota system, which provided immigration visas to 2% of the total number of people of each nationality in the United States, based on the 1890 national census.

The Immigration Act of 1965 abolished those immigration quotas and established a visa system for reuniting immigrant families and attracting skilled labor people to the United States.
