Two provisions are definitely unenforced. More bureaucratic failure that threatens security. 76. Immigration and Nationality Act of June 27, 1952 (INA) (66 Statutes-at-Large 163) Brought into one comprehensive statute the multiple laws which, before its enactment, governed immigration and naturalization in the United States. In general, perpetuated the immigration policies from earlier statutes with the following significant modifications: a. Made all races eligible for naturalization, thus eliminating race as a bar to immigration. b. Eliminated discrimination between sexes with respect to immigration. c. Revised the national origins quota system of the Immigration Act of 1924 by changing the national origins quota formula: set the annual quota for an area at one-sixth of one percent of the number of inhabitants in the continental United States in 1920 whose ancestry or national origin was attributable to that area. All countries were allowed a minimum quota of 100, with a ceiling of 2,000 on most natives of countries in the Asia-Pacific triangle, which broadly encompassed the Asian countries. d. Introduced a system of selected immigration by giving a quota preference to skilled aliens whose services are urgently needed in the United States and to relatives of U.S. citizens and aliens. e. Placed a limit on the use of the governing country’s quota by natives of colonies and dependent areas. f. Provided an “escape clause” permitting the immigration of certain former voluntary members of proscribed organizations. g. Broadened the grounds for exclusion and deportation of aliens. h. Provided procedures for the adjustment of status of nonimmigrant aliens to that of permanent resident aliens. i. Modified and added significantly to the existing classes of nonimmigrant admission. j. Afforded greater procedural safeguards to aliens subject to deportation. k. Introduced the alien address report system whereby all aliens in the United States (including most temporary visitors) were required annually to report their current address to the INS. l. Established a central index of all aliens in the United States for use by security and enforcement agencies. m. Repealed the ban on contract labor (see Act of March 30, 1868) but added other qualitative exclusions.
