Chinese Exclusion Act
ai generated text
The Chinese Exclusion Act was a US federal law signed in 1882 that prohibited all immigration of Chinese laborers for 10 years, making exceptions for merchants, teachers, students, travelers, and diplomats. The law was intended to last for 10 years but was renewed and strengthened in 1892 and made permanent in 1902, with attempts to stop all Chinese immigration until the Magnuson Act of 1943, which repealed the exclusion. The law remained in force until 1943 and was a significant factor in shaping US immigration policy based on race, with its effects lasting until the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 abolished the National Origins Formula.learn more on wikipedia
