Answer:

  • The Chinese Exclusion Act

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Chinese Exclusion Act led to Chinese being specifically not allowed to enter U.S.
  • There were hate crimes on chinese migrants, they were looked down upon for different cultural practices, and taking up jobs that American citizens could have had.
