the establishment of strict racial quotas in the early 1900s
states gaining greater control over naturalization requirements

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 eliminated race - based restrictions, reflecting a shift in American values towards greater equality and inclusivity, showing how changing values influenced immigration policy.
• The establishment of strict racial quotas in the early 1900s was a reflection of more exclusionary values, not a change towards more inclusive ones.
• States do not have greater control over naturalization requirements; naturalization is a federal matter.
• The creation of the first federal border patrol units was more about border security rather than a reflection of changing values related to immigration policy in terms of inclusivity or equality.

Answer:

The shift toward eliminating race - based restrictions in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965
