Answer: abolished the old immigration quotas.

Brief context: the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (Hart‑Celler Act) ended the national‑origins quota system that had favored Europeans and replaced it with a preference system based on family reunification and skills. It did not impose new bans on victims of persecution, nor was it intended to keep America ethnically uniform; rather it removed the overtly discriminatory quota system.
