The Immigration Act of 1990 increases the limits on legal immigration to the United States to 700,000, revises all grounds for exclusion and deportation, authorizes temporary protected status to aliens of designated countries, revises and establishes new nonimmigrant admission categories, revises and extends the Visa Waiver Pilot Program, and revises naturalization authority and requirements.
