Between 1925 and 1966, the yearly U.S. legal immigration level did not exceed 327,000 admissions, a four-decades-long near moratorium that allowed the massive inflows of immigrants from before 1925 the ability to assimilate.<\/p>\n<p>Since major changes were enacted in 1965, and expanded on in the 1990s by former President George H.W. Bush, legal immigration levels have continued booming for more than five decades.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>John Binder is a reporter for Breitbart News. Email him at jbinder@breitbart.com.
