An influx of Germans and Irish Catholics following the Civil War caused the United States to eye restrictive Immigration laws. The first legislation that passed in 1875, barred prostitutes and criminals from coming. It also restricted Chinese settlers in the west by the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act 1882. This was the nation's first racist immigrant law.
