Argument The Hart-Celler Immigration Bill was passed over forty years ago, on Oct. 3, 1965. “The legislation, which phased out the national origins quota system first instituted in 1921, created the foundation of today's immigration law.” Today, the unexpected has happened and has created the greatest wave of immigration in our nation's history. More than eighteen million legal immigrants, over triple the number during the previous thirty years, as well as undocumented millions of illegal immigrants have come to America since the law's passage. And the new immigrants are more likely to stay in America for the remainder of their lives. In addition, this new, inflamed immigration flow came from countries such as Asia and Latin America.
