1958, July 4 - Corriere della Sera
		Copy of an article from the Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera, dated Friday, July 4, 1958. Article title: "The Ships Depart." Excerpt: "The vast majority of emigrants aspired to reach North America... Until recently, there were 13,000 family members of Italians who had already emigrated and wished to join them; since they could only benefit from 20% of the quota, the last among them would have been forced to wait 13 years. Fortunately, the 'Kennedy Act' intervened, resulting in the granting of as many as 30,000 visas." In 1957, the then-Senator John F. Kennedy initiated an intensive legislative effort to reform United States immigration policy, culminating in proposals that were formally articulated in his famous essay A Nation of Immigrants (1958). The cornerstone of this vision was family reunification, designed to overcome the discriminatory barriers of the national-origins quota system. That same year, the U.S. Congress passed the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1957 (Public Law 85-316), a measure intended to amend the restrictive McCarran-Walter Act of 1952. This 1957 law introduced significant exceptions based on humanitarian grounds and family unity, facilitating, for instance, the immigration of adopted children and stepchildren of U.S. citizens. The principles championed by Kennedy in 1957 laid the groundwork for the historic reform of 1965 (the Immigration and Nationality Act). That law, passed after his death, definitively abolished national quotas and established family reunification as the central pillar of the U.S. immigration system.
