The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 prohibited Chinese laborers from immigrating to the United States. This was the first significant law restricting Immigration based on nationality and was motivated by economic and racial tensions at the time. The act was in effect until it was repealed in 1943, although restrictions on Chinese immigration continued in various forms until the mid-20th century.
