The Chinese Exclusion Act
The Chinese Exclusion Act, passed in 1882 and repealed in 1943 was the first significant piece of immigration restriction in U.S. History.Americanheritage.com: "How Illegal Immigration Was Born": Chinese Exclusion Act (1882)Leading up to Arthur's administration, Chinese immigration had increased due to the 1849 Gold Rush and the building of the Transcontinental Railroad. With several political factions blaming the depressed post-civil war economy on immigrants, Arthur was pressured to pass legislation limiting the influx of foreign laborers. The act stipulated that Chinese skilled and unskilled workers could not enter the country for a period of ten years.Americanheritage.com: "How Illegal Immigration Was Born": Chinese Exclusion Act (1882)
