Exclusion laws had dramatic impact on Chinese immigrants and communities they significantly decrease the number of Chinese immigrants into the United States and forbade those who left to return

The Chinese exclusion act of 1882 allegedly stated that Chinese immigrants were no longer allowed in America. This was a form of discrimination because they were not welcomed even though they were a significant force of labor .
