the 1965 immigration act marked a major shift in u.s. immigration policy, transforming the demographics of the united states. this law moved away from restricting entry based on nationality and instead established categories that emphasized family connections, skills, and refugee status.

• the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, including landmark legislation like the civil rights act of 1964 and the voting rights act of 1965, influenced the push for fairer immigration policies.
• the 1965 act eliminated nationality - based quotas and allowed people with family in the u.s., valuable job skills, or refugee status to enter regardless of their country of origin.

which immigration law imposed strict nationality - based restrictions, particularly limiting asian immigration?

• the 1924 immigration act
• the refugee - escapee act
• the 1965 immigration act

Explanation:

From the text, it's stated that "Prior immigration restrictions, especially the 1924 Immigration Act, limited entry based on nationality, with strong restrictions against Asian immigrants." The Refugee - Escapee Act is not related to nationality - based restrictions on Asian immigration, and the 1965 Immigration Act eliminated nationality - based quotas. So the 1924 Immigration Act imposed strict nationality - based restrictions, particularly limiting Asian immigration.

Answer:

A. the 1924 Immigration Act
