the native american party formed to protect the rights of natural - born citizens.

metropolitan cities developed ethnic centers to meet the needs of latin american immigrants.
immigration more than tripled following the passage of the legislation.

Explanation:

The Hart - Celler Act, also known as the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, abolished the national - origin quota system. This led to a significant increase in immigration, especially from non - European countries.

1. The Native American Party (Know - Nothings) was active in the 19th century, long before the Hart - Celler Act.
2. After the Hart - Celler Act, there was a surge in immigration from Asia, Latin America, etc., not just Europeans for white - collar jobs.
3. While ethnic centers in metropolitan cities existed before, the Hart - Celler Act's impact was more about overall immigration numbers.
4. The Hart - Celler Act led to a large increase in immigration. For example, in the 1950s, annual immigration was around 250,000. After the act, by the 1990s, it was over 1 million.

Answer:

Immigration more than tripled following the passage of the legislation.
