T 1HE IMMIGRATION ACT of 1965 (Public Law 89-236) substituted the national-origin quota system with that of numerical limitation. There is now an annual maximum numerical limitation of 120,000 immigration visas for natives of the Western Hemisphere and of 170,000 for those of the Eastern Hemisphere.' Within this limitation, no more than 20,000 immigrants from any particular country are permitted to enter the United States in a single year. When the 1965 Act became effective in 1967, the small annual quota of 105 Chinese immigrants in fact had increased to a maximum of almost 20,000. Breaking down this figure, it is found that the number of Chinaborn immigrants increased from 4,057 in 1965 to 14,417 in 1971, while that of Hong Kong-born Chinese immigrants increased from 712 to 3,205.2 Since 1960, about 23 percent of the former have intended to reside in New York State.3
