The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, also known as the Hart-Celler Act, was a bill that was proposed by Representative Emmanuel Celler of New York and it was co-sponsored by senator Phillip Hart from Michigan. Many political leaders, like Ted Kennedy, supported this bill, as well as northern American leaders and Republicans, while Southern leaders opposed it on racial grounds. In essence this bill came in response to the 1921 Emergency Quota Act, which had put a ban, through the National Origins Formula, to the immigration of all Europeans except from northern Europe, based on the number or residents and citizens from European origin. With this, the United States established quotas of immigrants from these regions of Europe, with only some exceptions. However, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 raised this ban and lifted the discrimination against Europeans who were not from the north of the continent. What the bill of 1965 retained from old policies was the limits on immigration based on country of origin, but it established a new preferential visas for immigrants with special skills and also those who had family ties with citizens and residents in the U.S

<u>Further Explanation:- </u>

Immigration and Nationality Act, well known as the Hart-Cellar act was passed during the 89th United States Congress and became a law by the signing of PresidentLyndon B. Johnson. This law abolishes the quota system which was based on national origin and this law implemented an advanced immigration policy.

This act which was signed in 1965 had a dramatic effect on past policy which was related to immigration. This act preferences to be made in accordance with categories along with this.This act also placed some caps on immigration per country wise along with the caps on each category. Before this act came into force, there were almost half of the immigrants from European countries in United States as compared to just 6% from Asian countries but after this act, this scenario completely changed because within around 20 years of this act, there were only 16% Europeans and 31% of Asians in the United States.

Briefly explain Marx, Owen, and Adam Smith and how they connect to the different "isms”.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

...“The father of modern economics supported a limited role for government. Mark Skousen writes in "The Making of Modern Economics", Adam Smith believed that, "Government should limit its activities to administer justice, enforcing private property rights, and defending the nation against aggression." The point is that the farther a government gets away from this limited role, the more that government strays from the ideal path... How this issue is handled will decide whether the country can more closely follow Adam Smith's prescription for growth and wealth creation or move farther away from it.”

Jacob Viner addressed the laissez-faire attribution to Adam Smith in 1928...

Here is a list of appropriate activities for government, which goes way, way beyond Mark Skousen’s extremely limited – and vague – 'ideal' government. That ... he goes on to attribute his ‘ideal’ list to Adam Smith ... is not alright.In fact, its downright deceitful, for which there is no excuse of ignorance (before attributing the limited ideal to Adam Smith we assume, as scholars must, that Skousen read Wealth Of Nations and noted what Smith actually identified as the appropriate roles of government in the mid-18th century).
