The first statement is best: the elimination of the quota system made it easier for Asians to immigrate and more difficult for Latin Americans to immigrate.
Why: The 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act ended the national‑origins quotas that had largely excluded Asians, creating family‑reunification and skill‑based preferences that led to a large increase in Asian immigration. At the same time the law for the first time imposed numerical limits on immigrants from the Western Hemisphere, which curtailed previously freer migration from Latin America.
