The Chinese Esclusion Act The Chinese Exculsion Act is a law that provides Chinese Immigrants not coming to America. The Americans didn't want the Chinese immigrants to come to their country. They were being racist to the Chinese. It was bad. The chinese were also willing to work for less wages making the Americans have to job.

The Exclusion Act... The exclustion act was a law that was aimed at the chinese people. This didnt allow the Chinese immigrants to go to Amercia. This happened becuase Chinese immigrants came to work and find gold and was willing to work for a lower wage so this caused some whites to lose their jobs. This got the whites angry and wanted to seek revenge. I think that this was wrong becuase the chinese was just desprate for money so they just wannted to get a job and work for money. They need money and they didnt care as long as they were making money.

The Chinese Exclusion Act This act was mainly aimed at Chinese. This act was made for Chinese laborers because they were coming into America and getting paid lower wages then Americans. Plus the Americans were fired in order to take the job and Chinese took them. The nativists didn't want Chinese immigrants to take their jobs they worked very hard for. The Senate and House Of Representatives Of America In Congress created this law. But they didn't hate Chinese; it was where Chinese immigrants were coming to. The Americans didn't want them to take their jobs. Some consequences that happened were that as years passed, less Chinese immigrants were coming. I think that this law made it very unfair. Since China was in the depression I think. They were also in poverty, they needed to make money. So when they came to America, they could earn money.
