Answer:

D) late 1800s

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1882 the Chinese Exclusion Act was the first most significant law used to restrict people from moving into the United States. This was because the decline in wages and economy was attributed to the Chinese workers even though they were just 002% of the population. The Congress passed the act so as to pacify workers and give in to their demands.
