Answer 1

Fill: "We got rid of strict immigration quotas with the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act."

Notes:
- The 1965 law (the Hart–Celler Act) abolished the national‑origin quota system set up in 1924 and replaced it with a preference system emphasizing family reunification and skilled immigrants.
- "Immigration and Nationality Act" is the correct name (not "Immigrant and Nationality").

Quick definitions of the other words you listed:
- quotas — numerical limits on how many immigrants from particular countries or categories may enter.
- arguments — reasons for or against a policy (e.g., arguments for quotas: protect jobs; against quotas: discriminatory).
- emigration — leaving one’s country to live in another (opposite of immigration).
- foreign citizen — a person who holds citizenship in a country other than the one being discussed.
- border — the geographic boundary between countries; immigration policy often controls movement across borders.
- legalization — the process of granting lawful status to undocumented immigrants.
