It was a damn shame let me tell you that. But I support the 1965 bill because it allowed my East Asian family to immigrate to the U.S. It allowed my parents and some relatives to prosper somewhat and make something of ourselves. And my cousins and I, our generation have all either graduated college or are in college now. I support the 1965 repeal of National Origins Quotas because it allowed so many good, decent hardworking people to come. And how does the bill discriminate against Europeans? Because it allows more Asians and Hispanics to come here? Well immigration used to be exclusively for Europeans, so yes there will be fewer Europeans as a percentage coming in now that our laws no longer discriminate against non-whites.

The 1965 act reduced the number of Europeans.
I would also note that my father came to the US only because only because of the bill.
