Answer:
It encouraged immigration of skilled workers, is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, also known as the Hart- Celler Act, was signed and passed into law by Lyndon B Johnson. This law ended The National Origins Formula which was a major cause of discrimination in American Immigration Policy. It discriminated against the Eastern, Southern, Northwestern Europeans and Asians. During the Civil Rights Movement, the National Origins Formula came under attack and a bill was introduced to repeal this formula. The bill was opposed by southern democrats.
The Hart- Celler Act created the Seven Category preference system which gives priority to the relatives of US citizens and legal permanent residents, as well as persons with specialized professional skills, exempting the US citizen's relatives from numerical restrictions.
It maintained per- country and total immigration limits and also put limits on the immigrants from the Western Hemisphere.
