In this Oct. 3, 1965, file photo, President Lyndon B. Johnson sits at his desk on Liberty Island in New York Harbor as he signs a new immigration bill. It was presented as a symbolic move. Fifty years later, there's little that hasn't been changed as a result of the Hart-Celler Act. A country that was almost entirely native-born in 1965 now has a significant foreign-born population; demographic diversity has spread to every region, expanding a black-and-white racial paradigm into a multi-colored one. Americans have gleefully adopted musical genres and foods that have immigrant origins while remaining conflicted and uneasy politically over who's here, legally and not.
