Answers:
It was absolutely TERRIBLE legislation. It changed our immigration law from evaluating potential immigrants based on their education and skills, with a quota for each country, to a system that put family ties over and above all else.

Fully half the 1,000,000 annual legal immigrants to the United States now come from a single country, Mexico. Average educational level 9.2 years. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/immigration... )

A PhD from Norway, with no family members in the United States, now has a much more difficult time immigrating than a Tijuana 16 year old shoeshine boy whose mother has a Green Card and lives in San Diego.
Apparently, it has not helped the nation.
The worlds naturally oppresive. Please don't tell me you're surprised by this.
