Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
The Hart-Celler Act of 1965 actually abolished the national origins quota system that had structured America's immigration policy since the 1920s, opening up the U.S. to immigrants from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, thus not closing U.S. borders but rather making immigration more accessible from a wider range of countries.
