While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
* In the early 1960s, the US had a strict national-origins quota system for immigrants.
* The number of new immigrants allowed from a country each year was based on how many people from that country lived in the US in 1890.
* This system favored immigrants from northern Europe.
* Almost 70% of slots were reserved for immigrants from Great Britain, Ireland, and Germany.
* The 1965 Hart-Celler Act abolished the national-origins quota system.
