Question

select the correct answer. after the passage of the 1965 immigration act, where did most immigrants to the united states come from? a. canada and vietnam b. latin america and asia c. southern and eastern europe d. northern and western europe

Explanation:

The 1965 Immigration Act changed U.S. immigration policy, shifting away from European - centered quotas. After its passage, immigration patterns changed, and most immigrants came from Latin America (due to proximity and economic/social factors) and Asia (due to new opportunities and family reunification provisions). Option A is incorrect as Canada is not a major source of U.S. immigrants post - 1965 and Vietnam was a source but not paired with Canada. Options C and D refer to European regions, and the pre - 1965 quota system favored northern and western Europe, but post - 1965 the main sources shifted to Latin America and Asia.

Answer:

B. Latin America and Asia
