The influx of refugees and of millions of illegal immigrants over the last several decades have certainly contributed to the United States' profound demographic transformation. But the chief driver of this change remains the system of family-based immigration put in place in 1965. Over time, in a process critics call "chain migration," entire families have re-established themselves in the United States. Historian Otis Graham thinks the policy has been a terrible mistake.

"Family reunification puts the decision of who comes to America in the hands of foreigners," Graham says. "Those decisions are out of the hand of the Congress -- they just set up a formula and its kinship. Frankly, it could be called nepotism."

In fact, President Kennedy's original proposal made skills-based immigration the priority. But Graham says a broad lobby pushed for the greater emphasis on families. It included churches, ethnic groups whose members had family in the old country, and the AFL-CIO. Graham says the union worried about competition from too many highly skilled newcomers.

You need to read the entire law for a true question on this .

Here is what I came up with and it is very interesting. The law was not intended or expected to stop white from coming here it was just an attempt to make it more equal for all (even if it was only for appearances and not really expected to work). The other points I found interesting is the gap in education of the new immigrants and the effect of the bill on illegal immigration. Even plans that are thought out may backfire. It is almost imposable to predict some of the thing that the law lead to.

No, you're incorrect. The 1965 law actually suggested that white 'northern europeans' were supperior to other races. This was changed after alot of protest, unfortunately it seems to have changed for the worse. Any immigrants that had family here at the time were allowed to cross, and any immigrant with expertise, that was in short supply by legal immigrants, were (and are) allowed to cross.
