The demands of American Cold War foreign policy led successive presidential administrations to challenge the nation's restrictive immigration policy from the end of World War II to the passage of the 1965 Immigration Act, which abolished the national origins quota system. This challenge came largely from the executive branch's efforts to admit Cold War refugees from Eastern Europe and Asia. By opening America's doors to these victims of communist tyranny, officials in the Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson administrations used the refugee issues to demonstrate to the world the stark contrast between the repressive nature of the communist system and the humanitarianism of the United States. At the same time, reformers in the executive branch viewed the Cold War as a window of opportunity for policy reform. Efforts to admit refugees under executive authority and through special legislation were linked to attacks on the discriminatory national origins quota system. This study seeks to understand the impact of the Cold War on debates over immigration policy in the 1950s and 1960s. A detailed analysis of the internal debates and concerns of executive branch officials and policymakers as they approached refugee issues will illuminate the important relationship between foreign policy and immigration policy. This study is based upon research conducted at the Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson Presidential Libraries, as well as the National Archives, the AFL-CIO George Meany Memorial Archives, and the Francis Walter Papers.
