“SPEAKING OF NATIONAL ORIGINS—”
President Johnson, in his special message to Congress on immigration on January 13, 1965, proposed to eliminate the National Origins Quota System. By showing the president gesturing toward a picture of a colonist establishing democracy, Herblock indicated his approval for the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. The act opened the doors of the United States to all highly-educated and skilled legal emigrants, and not just those coming from Great Britain, Ireland, and Germany.
