     Sixty years ago on Oct. 3, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Hart-Celler immigration reform act into law. LBJ’s signature ended 40 years of race-based National Origins policy that favored bringing White northern European immigrants to America and restricting immigrants from less-desirable places in Europe, plus additional roadblocks for entry of people from Asia, Latin America, and Africa.

Financial forms obtained by NBC News show Cook’s Atlanta home was consistently identified as a “vacation home” and never claimed as her primary residence, directly contradicting accusations that she misled lenders. The records suggest that the case against Cook was built on shaky ground and may have been driven more by politics than fact.
