Answer 3

Americans passed the 1882 Chinese exclusion act because of four different things. The four reasons why the act was passed are Chinese men were taking most of there jobs, -Americans didn't like the way they dressed or the religious ways of the Chinese, Although this is false information Americans thought that Chinese men came here to make money and then go back to their home country to get women into prostitution or to help with that kind of business and Americans thought that Chinese immigrants were payed less which helped them get jobs because they were cheaper to pay.
