Eisenhower urges broad immigration reform and doubled quota
President Eisenhower urged Congress to liberalize immigration laws, scrap the national origins quota, and double annual admissions to about 308,000. He proposed basing quotas on 1960 census figures, admitting one sixth of one percent of U S population, removing race classifications, aiding political refugees, and redistributing unused quotas. Facing swift opposition, the plan seeks a major shift in immigration policy before the current session ends.
