Solution
The trend in this table reflects the Immigration Act. This is because the data in the table shows changes in the regions of birth of the foreign-born population in the United States, which is directly related to immigration policies. The Immigration Act of 1965 removed national-origin quotas and led to a significant increase in immigration from regions other than Europe, which is reflected in the increasing numbers from Asia, Africa, Oceania, Latin America, and Northern America in the years following 1960.
