The Chinese Exclusion Act, enacted in 1882, was a pivotal piece of legislation that prohibited Chinese laborers from immigrating to the United States. It marked the first significant law restricting Immigration based on nationality and was initially set to last for ten years but was extended multiple times and made permanent in 1902. The Act also denied Chinese immigrants the ability to become U.S. citizens. This legislation reflected the widespread anti-Chinese sentiment and racial prejudice prevalent in America during that era.
