Question

Why did the chinese exclusion act of 1882 ban chinese immigration

Answer 1

It was the first significant law restricting immigration into the United States. In the spring of 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed by Congress and signed by President Chester A. Arthur. This act provided an absolute 10-year moratorium on Chinese labor immigration.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chinese exclusion act of 1882 banned the migration of Chinese people who worked as laborers in the USA for ten years. It declared Chinese ineligible for naturalization. The act was renewed in 1892 and from 1902 till 1943 Chinese people could not migrate to the US as it was declared illegal. These Legislation were challenged by the Chinese diaspora. The success of this act encouraged to demand to ban the migration of East Asians, Japanese and Indians. The premise for banning the Chinese was that it disturbed the order of good localities.
