Question

one effect of the immigration and nationality act was that:
a. it was easier for immigrants from western and northern europe to come to the united states than immigrants from other countries.
b. it was more difficult for the government to reject immigration requests on the basis of race and ethnicity.
c. it was easier for refugees from all countries to come to the united states to live.
d. it was more difficult for the government to deport immigrants who supported communism.

Explanation:

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 abolished the national origins quota system, which had favored immigrants from Western and Northern Europe. This change made it harder for the government to use race/ethnicity as a basis to deny immigration requests, while the other options are incorrect: A describes the old quota system, C is not a core effect, and D is unrelated to the act's provisions.

Answer:

B. it was more difficult for the government to reject immigration requests on the basis of race and ethnicity.
