Chinese Exclusion Act was unlike any law enacted since the founding of the republic.
Singling out as never before a specific race and nationality for exclusion – it made it illegal for Chinese workers to come to America – and for Chinese nationals already here ever to become citizens of the United States.
Fueled by deep-seated tensions over race and class and national identity that had been festering since the founding of the republic, it was the first in a long line of acts targeting the Chinese for exclusion – and it would remain in force for more than sixty years.
It continues to shape the debate about what it means to be an American to this day.
