Answer: The law allowed no more immigration from European nations.

Explanation: The Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965 abolished a prior quota system dependent on national origin and built up another movement strategy dependent on rejoining migrant families and pulling in skilled labor to the United States.

Throughout the following four decades, the policies put into impact in 1965 would enormously change the demographic makeup of the American populace, as settlers entering the United States under the new enactment came progressively from nations like Asia, Africa and Latin America, rather than Europe.
