Immigration Policy Shift and American Diversity Debates
What happened
A report distinguished between pluralism, which assumes differences exist within a shared civic framework, and multiculturalism, which demands government accommodation of those differences. The report noted that historically, America prioritized European immigration from societies with broadly compatible political traditions. The 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act subsequently replaced this national-origins system with one emphasizing family reunification and diversity.

Why it matters
The shift in immigration policy, detailed in the report, altered the composition of the American immigrant population. Historically, Europeans accounted for roughly three-quarters of immigrants, a trend that has since changed due to the emphasis on diversity and family reunification.
