All but a few Chinese immigrants were banned from America primarily due to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which was fueled by widespread anti-Chinese sentiment and economic competition fears. This legislation marked the first significant law restricting Immigration based on nationality, reflecting racial prejudices and stereotypes. The ban was extended and made more stringent over the years, culminating in further restrictions in the 1920s, effectively isolating Chinese immigrants and their families from entering the United States for decades.
