Detailed explanation-1: -The Chinese Exclusion Act (1882) was the first major immigration law aimed at a specific nationality or ethnic group. It banned the immigration of Chinese laborers and their families for ten years.
Detailed explanation-2: -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 ban on Chinese laborers immigrating to the United States.
Detailed explanation-3: -This act was the first significant restriction on free immigration in U.S. history, and it excluded Chinese laborers from the country under penalty of imprisonment and deportation. It also made Chinese immigrants permanent aliens by excluding them from U.S. citizenship.
Detailed explanation-4: -Chinese communities underwent dramatic changes as well. Families were forced apart, and businesses were closed down. Because of the severe restrictions on female immigrants and the pattern of young men migrating alone, there emerged a largely bachelor society.
Detailed explanation-5: -In 1923, the Government of Canada revoked the head tax, a large fee charged to Chinese people entering Canada, replacing it with the Chinese Immigration Act, 1923, which virtually halted all immigration from China. Over the next 24 years, only 44 Chinese migrants entered the country.
