Answer 1

The country was becoming more open to diversity and equality.

Explanation: 1920s laws (e.g., the 1924 National Origins Act) imposed ethnic quotas to favor Northern/Western Europeans, while the 1965 Hart-Celler Act abolished those national‑origin quotas and opened immigration based on family reunification and skills, reflecting a shift toward greater equality and diversity.
