Johnson calls for sweeping new immigration law
President Johnson urged Congress to pass a revised immigration act based on skill and family ties, scrapping the national origins quota for a first come, first served system with work, culture, and family unity preferences. The measure mirrors Kennedy proposals and aims to raise annual admissions from 300,000 to about 350,000, including special-legislation arrivals and Western Hemisphere migrants.
