The law made an effort to establish a quota system.
Explanation: The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 abolished the old national‑origins quotas and replaced them with a new preference-based system (family reunification and skilled immigrants) and numerical limits per country/hemisphere. It did not reduce Asian immigration (it increased it), did not bar European immigration, and was not primarily a refugee/ political‑persecution measure.
