Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. Between the 1960s and the 2000s immigration from Asian nations greatly increased. As a result of the increase of Asian immigration to the United States, nowadays almost half of the new immigrants that arrive to the country, are coming from Asia. Asian foreign born residents of the United States constitute almost half of the total number of foreign born citizens. All of these can be attributed to the passing of The Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965, that changed the immigration policy, allowing immigrate families to reunite and establishing more lenience towards future candidates. The policy made the United States more open to immigrants, and with it, it change the demographic of the country.
