The Chinese Exclusion Act, the law that was made in 1882 was meant to control people from
China living and working in the U.S. How do you feel about that law?
Is it fair or unfair? Why?
I feel that the Chinese exclusion act is both fair and unfair. I think that it is fair because the people that are born in the United States that have been trying to get employed have been rejected to work because the immigrants are willing to work for low wages. I think its unfair because most people come to America for better lives and this law is restricting them from bringing other family members to expand their lives in the United States. - Sabrina Basant
I think that the law is good because they let them to be in the U.S. i think that the law is fair because they could earn more money in american then they could earn money in china.so i think that the process is in good condition
I disagree with you because the Chinese exclusion act is when the government forbids the Chinese immigrants from bringing other people to the U.S - Sabrina Basant
I think that the chinese exclusion act was really unfair,because its just that they should at least allow them to stay because the cinese helped them with bulding many landscapes and buldings. and then all of a sudden get kicked out of the country? The US should at least helped them do something because the chinese helped then do so much. LI Xiao Ting 811
In my opinion "The Chinese Exclusion Law" is unfair. Its unfair because why would China want to control people that are living and working in America. I get that they are still apart of China but they are in a different country and will probably be American Citizens. For example, how would you feel if u moved from California to London and California says u must pay us because your from here. If I was a Chinese immagrant I would hate China
I believe that its not fair because this law are just excluding the Chinese immigrants when they had help america in a very huge way. For example they help build the railroads and helped in the mining industries. This law shouldn't just excluded Chinese immigrants because there are other immigrants that they could excluded, just because they came last to america they shouldn't be treated like this cause they said that they are giving you a new chance of starting over. Plus Chinese people help with making what america is today so with out them life would be different. -Kathy Fung 811
I think this law is unfair because chinese where in america for along time they became effective to the american society. they helped with railroad building stuff and expanding the united states civilization . this law was also unfair because when america where in thier hard time. Chinese came to america and help them go through the challenge. i feel that this law is trying to take all the accomplishment the chinese made and pushing them away because the problems that were happening in their economics. it isnt fair to them Chinese people is because u cant judge them because of their culture, religion and etc. wendyyang 811
i agree with you because i also think that they make this law is to push them out of america because of the economic problem. they don't want the Chinese immigrant to be in america.janezheng821
I think this law is not fair because people came to the the usa for a better life which they are not getting. Instand of treating them nicely they are treating Chines people like slave, also this is like staring a another slavery but with Chines people.
I think it is unfair to the Chinese because it only happen to the Chinese.Also there are other race that is in america that is just unfair. Andy Chen 811
Are there any other reasons you can come up with as to why you think it is unfair? You need to back up your response with facts so I can agree or disagree with it.
The Exclusion Act that had made in 1882 was meant to control people from china living and working in the U.S. I think that it is unfair because that people from the other country needed to help the other states' economy and government by working for them with out any give back. Also its unfair because that people from china have there own economy to care about, they needed to travel to United States to work for other county for nothing. People think that they have been controlled by the United State and they are like slaves that had been controlled. Many people come to United State are for a better life not working for them and letting them control them. People come to Unite States to started a new life. But they whether stay at their own country. Class 811 Wen Jian Lin
The law for chinese people that called the chinese exclusion act that it was made in 1882 that controled people from China living and working in the U.S. I dont understand why this might happened to chinese people and why they like to do this... This can be a good thing and also a bad thing. Because,IF THE CHINESE COME TO AMERICA AND HAVE BETTER LIFE WORKING FOR THEM TO GET PAYED MONEY THIS CAN BE A POSITIVE... but if they meant to made this law to controled them not gaving them freedom to do what they want is a big negative.They wish they always work for them, but never think about their feeling that i think it was unfair...
I think that the Chinese exclusion act is unfair in many ways. I think that its unfair because people come to America to aquire a better life for themselves. To get a superior life is to get a better job, a better place to live, and etc. If the Chinese people cant get a job then how are they going to earn money for a home, food,and etc. The Chinese people would be better off at there homeland, at least there they had a place to live and a job to earn money. Nathaly Salas802
I feel that the Chinese Exclusion Act was cruel and unfair. The Chinese Exclusion Act were passed to control the amount of people from China that are living and working in the U.S. Although the immigrants came from another part of the world. It isn't fair to make a law to control the amount of people. The immigrants should have the rights to come and not be limited. In addition, the tests that the immigrants had to take to get in weren't fair either. So I think it's unfair to for them to limit and control the amount of Chinese immigrants coming to America. -Joey Zhang 811
I feel that this law was unfair because they limited the number of people that came from china.This is unfair because they only passed a law that affect one nationality and it did not benefit no one.
In my opinion, this law is not a fair law. This is because when the Chinese immigrants come to America, they come for better life and more freedom. The statue of liberty that they had see at Ellis Island stands for freedom. But when they start their new life in America, they loose their freedom. The government took their freedom and make them hard to live in America. So the law is very unfair. Annie Chen 811
I Think that the chinese exclusion act is unfair,because The Statue of liberty stands for freedom,but the government took the freedom away from the people that came to U.S. from china.-CaoJieWu 802
i disagree with you because the statue of liberty stands for the freedom of all the races not only for the chinese,but the chinese immigrants were overcrowding america making it the very thing immigrants came from.Alvin Gaine 802
In my opinion, the Chinese exclusion act was unfair. It was unfair because immigrants like the Chinese came to the U.S. to have a better life and wanted to get away from their old life. But the U.S. are basically doing what the countries that the immigrants came from are doing. They are isolating and basically controlling the Chinese lives without any opinion of any citizen. They wanted to make the U.S. a great place for immigrants but they are just making their lives worse. Jamal Razzaq 802
I Feel That The Chinese Exclusion Act was a very useful act due to the large number of Chinese in the U.S and so this act allowed a restriction to Chinese and how many of them are allowed to come to The U.S and so it also allowed many things like different Races to come.
I disagree with you because by doing this the Chinese are thinking that the U.S. are just treating them like how China did.They wanted to get away from China's lifestyle and "have a better life" but they can't do that when the U.S. are basically controlling them. Jamal 802
the chinese exclution act was both fair and unfair,it was fair because it prevented america becoming overcrowded,sometimes the same reason why immigrants came to america,many chinese immigrants came to america,but america welcomed immigrants of more races,this made overcrowding possible and this would hurt america's reputation as a leading country,the truth was america wasn't big enough for all of us.it was unfair because part of the reason of the chinese exclusion act were given by american nativists who gave reasons that would only benefit them and not the immigrants such as the cause for lower wages was the immigrants and the the cause for lesser jobs was also the immigrants.Alvin Gaine 802
I think the chinese exclusion act is unfair, it limit the people that come from china. Those people just wanted a better life, but the U.S government just take away their right. -Eric wu 802
I agree with your thoughts because the government shouldn't have the ability to take away the right of the Chinese who only wanted a better opportunity at life. -Ryan Jiang 821
I think that the law is unfair and the chinese people should be allowed to come to the United States to work and live a good life. When other immigrants came they didn't have a problem. It prevents Chinese people to work.
In my opinion the Chinese Exclusion Act is unfair because other immigrants from France, German, and Spain and lived and worked and settled in United Stated then why U.S passed a law to control Chinese to live in U.S. Also many symbol in the US such as the Statue of Liberty is symbolized the welcomed of every immigrants came to U.S for a better life if there is a Chinese Exclusion Act this statue symbolized welcome and freedom in New York was been ruined.
I agree with you.the United States was a nation of freedom,immigrants should feel welcomed but not unaccepted in this country.The Chinese Exclusion Act was definitely against this idea. -Xinyi Huang 814
I think the law wasn't fair because Chinese immigrants comes to U.S for a better life , better jobs , better pay , and more freedom. And the law took their freedoms by controlling their powers. -AndyLi
1) The chinese exclusion was unfair for typical reasons. It was unfair because people didnt deserve to be locked up. Also the chinese wanted to come to america to get better jobs but there dream is ruined because they are getting locked up for the amount of asians coming to America.
I think Chinese Exclusion is fair and useful because it stop large amount of people to enter china and it control people in China. In some point it is also unfair because Large amount of Chinese went to other countries but the Exclusion stop others come to china
i believe that The Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair because they limited the amount of Chinese people to come to America. As a matter of fact these people came to america for a better and they gave a limit to how many people could come to america. and they locked them up and basically taking away there freedom by locking them up in Angel Island which was unfair because they still had to pass the test given to be allowed to enter america ~ reyna 802
I don't think Chinese Exclusion Act is a unfair act. That is because Chinese help made how America is today.For example Chinese help build the rail road.This made it unfair for Chinese to made that act.Even they help so much.-Zhi Wei Zhang 802
I think that the Chinese exclusion act is unfair cause they came here for a better life but can't.Because they were the only one that was brave enough to handle the explosion without hesitation and drinking to much.Which was left with not many labor jobs for the rest of the peoples.And also i am a part of the Chinese family so it was very unfair.-802 linlinlu
In my opinion it is unfair because people come to american for a better life. They said that everyone is free in american but they try to control them. they helped american to make the railroad and other stuff but they didn't thank them but make a law that try to control them. Chinese people come to america to have a better life, everyone have freedom but they make a law to control them to not let them do thing that they want. Because i am in a Chinese family and if they make this law i would think this is unfair.-Janezheng821
I WANT TO ADD ON THAT, THE CHINESE IMMIGRANTS ARE JUST COMING HERE FOR BETTER LIFE AND WHEN THEY LEAVE UNITED STATED, THE IMMIGRANTS HAVE TO START OVER AND FILL OUT AN APPLICATION.
I think that the law was pretty unfair . I think this because why would they make certain amount of people be able to go to america as in they limited the amount of chinese people . They actually came here for a better life and so they could get a better opportunities in life . Also, so they could be able to provide stuff for their families . - @ vanessa 821
I didn't think that the law was fair because all men were created equally so why they should only Chinese people get this which limited what they could do. So then they can't try to get a better life which would be unfair. -Ryan Jiang 821
I think that the Chinese exclusion act because they not being treated well. i am also Chinese and i feel sorry for my families. They also help create building for our families and america. this why i think that the Chinese exclusion act is unfair. gavinzhang821
I think the Chinese Exclusion Act that was made is unfair and needed to be remove. The law take away some of the Asian immigrant freedom and right. America us supposed to treat everyone equally, but the law is not doing it. Asian immigrants came to America for a better life than their old life back in China, however the law make Asian immigrant life harder. I bet that the Asian immigrant wish they haven't move to the America because of this law (The Chinese Exclusion Act.) -Alan Lin Class 821
how i feel about the chinese exclusion act was that it unfair.since the immigrants that come here u usually come here for a better or new life.the people come here to make money and bring their whole family to america.the act was used to control the chinese. but in the past the chinese were used to help with building USA.then when depression came they blamed it on the chinese. william 821
Explain more about the act or how it takes away or control the chinese. How was the act unfair; what did the law do to them to make it unfair? They blamed the chinese immigrant that all? -Alan Lin Class 821
i think the Chinese exclusion act is unfair because the Chinese immigrants came to America for better life and want more opportunity. The Chinese Exclusion act make the Chinese immigrants have to full out an application when they are leaving America. Also the Chinese immigrants cannot bring their family to America. These made the Chinese immigrants have less power in coming nor leaving America. When the Chinese immigrants came back from their country, they need to start over a new life in America. michael xiao 821
1) I feel like the law is not fair because the law is about controlling people in china living and working in the U.S because to live you need freedom and to work and be free you cant complete it when you are being controlled by someone else and tellin you what to do and so thats why i feel like its unfair for them ~ Elizabeth 821
In my opinion, I think the Chinese Exclusion Act is unfair because the people want to come to America for a better life. The Chinese had help them to build landscapes. Then the Americans tell them to go back to China. They shouldn't have the rights to control other people. They should let the Chinese stay because they had help them. -Tiffany Jiang 821
1)I think that the Chinese exclusion act is unfair because this act limited the Chinese immigrant that can come to America for a better life.Another reason this was unfair is because this law is just limiting Chinese people not people from other ethnicity. 821 KangHao Lin
i feel like that the Chinese exclusion act was unfiar because all races should be able to live and work in america becasue america is a place for freedom.adding on,people came to america so they could get better jobs and have a better life this law was preventing that for happening.therefore this law was not fair to Chinese people and was very awful.
I agree because if people wanted to have a better life then the law shouldn't have been made in the first place because it made it difficult for immigrants Kernan Kong 821
i think that the Chinese exclusion act was unfair because they came here for a better life and they cant do that if the white people in america are creating some act that limits them from coming to america because they didnt want their "kind" to take up to much of the population. Ant it was also really unfair because when they came to angel islsnd they didnt even give alot of them a chance they just locked them up which was really unfair. -Adoora 821
I think the Chinese exclusion act is unfair because the chinese people are trying to go to America to have a better life and because of the Chinese exclusion act people have to stay at china and suffer. -MeiZhenMei 821
The law for the Chinese Exclusion was unfair because it stop the Chinese from settling in America.Also the law made immigration for Chinese difficult because if a person is Chinese and is settled in America and sees a great life in America that single person will go back to where they came from to get there family but since the law it stops that specific person from going to America again.Another reason why it was unfair is because Asians weren't to come back to America if they left in the first place plus the Chinese immigrants weren't allowed to go in groups so if a family member was left behind and someone went with the one who got left behind they were't allowed go to America for a certain amount of time.
I think the Chinese exclusion act is unfair because they came here for a better life, better work and better pays.They had travel so far(from china all the way to the U.S. the act limited their powers to do other things that only the whites would be able to do. This act also took away many of their freedom, they were limited for lots of things for example the government limited how much percent that the Chinese workers would have.And last the statue of liberty represented freedoms for all and the Chinese exclusion act didnt show that however it was the complete opposite from it.
I think it is unfair because the Chinese people come to america from far place (China)is to have a better life and survive ,but the people did not let them come to america . In addition, the people build the building for us to live and the Chinese people build railroad for s to walk and buy shop and deliver food from other place so we can have things to eat.That why we have a success in our today life. Si Ting Chen 821
The law for the Chinese Exclusion was unfair because it stop the Chinese from settling in America.Also the law made immigration for Chinese difficult because if a person is Chinese and is settled in America and sees a great life in America that single person will go back to where they came from to get there family but since the law it stops that specific person from going to America again.Another reason why it was unfair is because Asians weren't to come back to America if they left in the first place plus the Chinese immigrants weren't allowed to go in groups so if a family member was left behind and someone went with the one who got left behind they were't allowed go to America for a certain amount of time. Kernan Kong 821
I believe that the chinese exclusion act was fair because immigrants have to give their part in creating the great country they struggled to travel to. This is my opinion because they cant just live a rich, easy life they need to work to get a good life in U.S.A. Even now every on has to do their share of work. -Javohir sharifov 821
i think the chinnese exuslion act was really selffish because chinnese people deserve a chance to live in a new life in a new place they need to give chinnese people a chance to live happy and free from hasan tasnemul 821
I think the Chinese exclusion act was unfair because the Chinese came to America to get a new/free life. Now the Chinese have laws that restrict them having a normal life. NAME:Adnan Pasha 821
i feel like this law is unfair because America is ment to be free.So when they have laws to control them they arent really free. everyone except the chinese immigrants dont have laws to control them. so its unfair to them.
i think it unfair becaue they would limit the chinee from coming into america. the chinee would come for better oppertunite and to be able to provide for their familie. Heemadrie Hriddhie 821. the s button ic mecced up
The act was unfair because chineses people were losing there freeedom. Also chinese people didint get the rights like everyone else. This was unfair because people came to america to have a better life. Chinese were not getting freedom and were being treated badly. Jarif Sarder821
The Chinese Exclusion Act was, a law to control the Chinese people. This is just too much, the people who is taking the country to a next level and the american wants to take control over them. this is totally unfair, because the Chinese were not allowed to do everything the american were.
The Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair because the act was only based on limiting the Chinese,not other race. I understand that the Act is to help America limit it's population. However, just limiting Chinese and kicking them out,is kind of relating to slavery because they are treating this race of people different from other. Chinese are here for reasons,they don't just come here becasue of nothing (leaving their family behind). They need to live and support their families just like the Europeans. To sum up, i believe this act is not fair to Chinese people. (this act was kinda racist as well.)
I think the Chinese exclusion act is unfair because they came here for a better life, better work and better pays.They had travel so far(from china all the way to the U.S. the act limited their powers to do other things that only the whites would be able to do. This act also took away many of their freedom, they were limited for lots of things for example the government limited how much percent that the Chinese workers would have.And last the statue of liberty represented freedoms for all and the Chinese exclusion act didnt show that however it was the complete opposite from it. -minglin 821
-The Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair because after what chinese do to America(help develope),Amercian want to limit the population.That's unfair,they even create laws such as Chinese Exclusion Act,that show strong racist since it's the only and first law to limit immigrants.
I agree with what you said. It really was unfair for the Chinese since they did so much to help but in return they get restricted to come to America. it was also racist since it focused on Chinese Ekaterina kim 814
The Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair because America restricted the Chinese from coming there. Even though the population was getting to big, it focused on the Chinese rather than others which showed racism. Also, the Chinese did a lot of work for America and took many jobs which benefited them by paying them less but America started losing money which contributed to the Chinese Exclusion Act. It wasn't fair at to create this act against the Chinese. Ekaterina Kim 814
The Chinese Exclusion act is really unfair because Chinese immigrants came to america to have better life and Chinese work for less and do all those dangerous jobs.This might take over many other American's job but that is not a reason for the government to take away their right of getting a better life. by zhichenglin 814
It is obvious that The Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair.Firstly,Chinese immigrants were significant in contributing to American society.They risked their lives on constructing the railroad.Secondly,their religious and cultural effects are still important today,which testifies that Chinese Exclusion Act was a ridiculous action.Finally,the Chinese Exclusion Act limited Chinese immigrants'rights by showing discrimination toward Chinese people. -Xinyi Huang 814
The Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair because they had limit the Chinese from coming into the country. People are coming to the US because they want to have a better life,and better jobs however, now they are kick out by those laws.Moreover,America is a free country but now they are limiting the right of Chinese. -Yanying Wu 814
The Chinese Exclusion Act was a act that control Chinese from living and working in United States. This act was unfair because people came to America for better life. However, this act limit their jobs, and force being kick out by this act. Chinese Exclusion Act help America limit it's population, so people won't lost their jobs. This act was unfair to Chinese people by Americans treated them differently. As a result, Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair to Chinese people. -Rui Xin Lin 814
The Chinese Exclusion Act is a law made in 1882 to limit their right.It is unfair to the Chinese because they came to America for better life.This is like the treatment that freedman gets after they get their freedom.But i know that people think it is fair because America is out of jobs and there is an great depression.so They have to made a law to control it. By andy jiang 814 11/1/2016
i agree with what Andy has to say because the Act was ment for a easier time to improve America and limiting a race laws would not help since other races such as asian would help improve culture and more
For me as a Chinese people(immigrant), I felt very angry about this law. Why? We Chinese people came to America and risking our life to help you AMERICA to built the railroad, and that's how you thanks us? By limiting our rights and not letting us live in AMERICA? Not saying it's unfair, you guys were very, very, very racist about other races of people. Treating us like what you treat African American, huh? Okay I'm not comparing us to AFRICAN AMERICAN, but you;re not giving any credits for us people building the railroad for you. You're in the depression I knew, but you want to build railroad and told other races to help you to do it? Why don't you build the railroad by yourself? Your action of this, is proving that you're worst than your "brother"(British). If you AMERICA hate us Chinese, why don't you kill us all?(Yeah go ahead, try to kill me, you will kill you too!) We Chinese have our own pride, you AMERICA try to limit our rights and not having us staying here? You're worst than a piece of garbage now! Just see how painful we are and how being racist you are. (You could never know it) You're now acting like a king and limiting other people's rights. Where's the "Land of Freedom" tht you guys all says!?
Answer: The Chinese Exclusion Act is truly considered as unfair because the act was only created to control the Chinese and limit their population. The Chinese came for a better life and to have better opportunities but this act prevents them from settling in America and have a peaceful life like they imagined. The Chinese have done so much for America, like taking the dangerous jobs that no other people would sign up for. They built the Railroads that was useful enough to same peoples' lives and it also made it easier for people to access trading, transportation, and food. Without the Asians, especially the Chinese, the railroad wouldn't have existed and many people may have starve. this is why it's considered unfair to the Chinese and also me.
I think the Chinese Exclusion act was unfair because it was never giving the Chinese a chance to have a better life because of what they might of faced during their home place(such as maybe of poverty or of family hunger).The Chinese Exclusive act limited the way a person lived. However it was also ish fair because it helped the people in America find a easier job by limiting the amount of Chinese being employed and would help those unemployed.
I feel that the Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair because its was a very racist law. This law prevented Chinese immigrants from coming into the U.S. It made it very difficult for them to get the life they have always wanted in the United States.The Chinese Exclusion Act was very racist on the Chinese people, and it was treating them in a unfair way because of their race. Soha Ahmedshaker 814
i agree with you that this is an unfair law that prevents the immigrants, especially the Chinese, from settling in America but i disagree with how you discribe the laws as only to separated them because of their race
I feel that the Chinese Exclusive Act is unfair. These Chinese where in america for along time they did many things for the US. For example, they helped with railroad building and expanding the united states civilization. Further more, now they are just being racist,kicking them out even though they had settle here for a long thing and have a new life here. The law were meant to control people from China living and working in the U.S.However, they have no right to control people life, If they had then what was the meaning of America. yuxinouyang 814
I feel The Chinese Exclusion act was a fair law for a certain time. I feel this way because many of the new Chinese immigrants coming into America were not very knowledged or skilled, and automatically giving them all these rights may effect the U.S. (including something like voting for the wrong person to bring the country down). So I feel the law(limiting rights) should only take control over new in-coming immigrants until they are mature enough to be able to accomplish the American life(become a citizen) by themselves and then have access to all the rights of a citizen.
I place confidence, in that the Chinese Exclusion act was unfair act because it was a discriminatory law against Asian groups that wanted to come to America. Especially, since it was the first law based on race passed down by congress. Moreover, this law would prohibit Asian groups from coming to America and if they left then they couldn't come back until ten years pass. This makes coming to America and leaving back to their home country an even more complicated decision because if they leave they cant come back for a while to earn money and work. Also, many hard working Asian groups that wanted to come to America were denied to come because there was a limit of Asian groups that could arrive.
The Chinese Exclusion Act were unfair in my honest opinions.This law specifically limited the movement of Chinese people into America and the Chinese people that was already in America.These affected the Chinese people in a destructive way.They searched for a better life and the result of the travel is "imprisionment" or back to their homeland.Each choice is not what every immigrant want and to come to America the immigrants wasted their money.Being treated as a blame was never fair to people who had never done anything terrible and they wanted to live in America even with the disadvantages working against them. Andy Zheng 814
The Chinese Exclusion act was very unfair because it shuts out all asian groups. The immigrants had came to find a better life and economic production. Furthermore, they had done so much to improve labor in America and they treat them as blame for dropping in economic resources. Many of the asian groups had wanted to help immigrate their family members over as well; however, the act prohibits them from doing so. They don't appreciate any of the Chinese people's help and blame them for taking jobs even when they offer to help anything for some money. This concludes my reason on why I believe the Americans were unfair.
what is the Chinese exclusion act, and why was it passed? The Chinese exclusive act carried out laws design to limit/stop certain Asian groups(Chinese).From my perspective,i believe that that this was unfair for most of the immigrants coming into America.Angel island was constructed from 1905-1910.It was used as a immigration station or a detention center patrolled.about 170,000 immigrants were detained on angel island for 2 or 3 weeks sometimes years.poems were written on the walls to express their heartbreaking stories.i believe that this law was putting to much pressure on the new coming immigrants,i believe that this law was unfair. joceline aguilar 814
In 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act was established to limit and control many rights of the Chinese immigrants. This law restricted several morality of certain Asian groups since at the time America was possessed in an economic depression. I believe this act was definitely discriminatory to the Asian groups. In addition to this, the Chinese specifically contributed numerously to the development of America. This provokes the thought that the Americans have taken advantage of the Asian people.To summarize it all, the Chinese Exclusive Act wasn't a righteous and equitable act that was published in 1882. Mehrin Faisal 814
The Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair because it limit the power for chinese people because the are losing there freedom.They came here for a better life and more opportunities. However many chinese people created many things that helped the United States. This act showed that there no freedom for the chinese community.
I think that the Chinese Elusive Act is unfair because the law is design to specifically target Chinese immigrant that came to america and not other Asian race.For example, if a Chinese immigrant successfully came to america but wanted to come to go back to china, they wouldn't be able to successful the second time. Also, lets face the fact that they also help american to boost up their economies by building the Transcontinental Railroad and etc. Just kicking them out because of the Chinese Excursive Act isn't fair: it's also the same thing as restricting their right, just like what happen during the time of slavery.
There were many reasons to why this law was unfair. To start off, who in the world would decide to create a law that would specifically restrict Asians from coming into the U.S. This is what we commonly call racism. Furthermore, they additionally created this system to limit the amount of Asians who enter by stating Asians who go back to their countries to get their family members who want to join them on their freedom would be forever prohibited to come back into the U.S. This was the U.S. government official's way to limit the population of Asians who came into America because a vast majority of them were rapidly coming. Like the slaves that used to exist, they were provided shoddy jobs that they were unaware of. Even after all they've helped the Americans they decide to create this. Salty and corrupt asf.
The Chinese Exclusion Act were really unfair in my perspective. It was because it were mainly limiting the Chinese from coming to America. Chinese helped America on many of the buildings, now they were kicking them out for nothing. America were treating them like slave. They limit the amount of right that Chinese have, just like slave. People come to America for money not for being control. Chinese did many things for America so they shouldn't be kick out. They can do the help their own country but they did, they help the America.
The way how i feel about the Chinese Exclusion Act is that it was a law that made more individuals' life bad and was unfair. To demonstrate, take the Chinese immigrants as an example. The Chinese immigrants came to America to discover a better life and as a result, they contributed tremondously towards the growth of America. However, as America discovered a drop in economy and started to fear things that might happen, they placed the blame on Chinese immigrants and made the Chinese Exclusion law to limit the amount of Chinese immigrants coming in. Not only did America placed the blame on things that might not be the cause of the drop in economy and discriminated the Chinese immigrants, they also included other Asian groups such as Indonesians and treated them the same way. Therefore, it demonstrates how the Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair and made life for some other individuals' worse
The Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair because this act limited the amount of Chinese coming into America while they didn't limit any other immigrant trying to come to America. Chinese immigrants came over for a better opportunity to help there family but with this act limiting them they can't help there family. The Chinese Exclusion Act targeted the Chinese from entering the United States instead they let others come in to the U.S. This act was racist against Chinese and treating other races differently
I agree with your reasons because the Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair and very racist to the Chinese.I liked how you showed why they wanted to come to the U.S and how this law would prevent them from doing that.
I feel that the Chinese exclusion act law was unfair because the law took control of how people from China lived. People should live how they want to live if they come to America and start a new life. It's not right to control the Chinese people how they should be living.
The Chinese Exclusion Act was an unfair thing that occurred in the Unites States. This really went against the idea of equality. They didn't have the same privileges as other people. It would've been better to make the immigration tests harder for them instead of taking everything away from them. Mohammad Ijaz 822
The Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair because those people that is chinese was in America too and they came here just for a better life . Also they were in a country where says it is represent freedom not by controlling them.it was kind of like the whites to the African Americans it is based on their religion and skin color to control them. yexi lin
I agree with you because Chinese come to america for a better life. And Chinese even help build railroad for america and american limit the amount of Chinese come to america. Amy chen 822
It was unfair because people from China came to have a new life to live and get their own jobs and for their family but not to be forced to come here. Its their freedom , their choice to decide to come or not, but forcing a person to come from their own country and to work here, isn't a good choice and they have no rights too. If they want to come here, they can choice their own paths. ^_^ Kevin Chen 822
I think that this was unfair because why did they only do this to Chinese people why couldn't they do it to any other race.What was there reason for doing this and couldn't there had been another way to do this?It makes me feel confused that they said that it was Chinese because it could have been any other race's fault but they decided to choose the Chinese. Anthonyzhou 822
I feel Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair because the Chinese people came to america for a better life.The Chinese even help america build the railroad and the american didn't help the Chinese and limit the amount of Chinese coming to america. Amy chen 822
I feel that the Chinese Exclusion law was somewhat unfair, but fair. Because since the law was used to control those who were from china, to work in the U.S, but wouldn't that limit them to certain jobs, and work hours too. But if they were controlled, there would be less chaos, as well as fights. -Diamon Roebuck 822
The Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair because everyone should had the same right as other does even they come from other countrys. The Chinese people come to Unites States for better life not to being occurred. They also had the right to do stuff they wanted. That why it's seen to be unfair.
Kateryna Vasylets 822 I feel terrible about the chinese people. For example, it takes about 17 hours to get from China to America using the airplane. This means that chinese people traveled more than 2 months on the ship in order to get to America for no reason. Even though, chinese people helped America, they go nothing in return. This leads to unfairness. Thanks to Chinese people AMrica became more advanced.China brough culture, materials and other stuff that was very useful.Chinese people risked their life in order to help Americans. However, instead of Americans helping, they just controlled them and used them for their own benefits. To summarize this whole thing i think it was very unfair what Americans did to Chinese people. However, pretty smart.
I, Albert Einstein think that the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was unfair because they shouldn't limit the amount of people that come people that come into the united states.They should let any amount of people that come into the unite states.In conclusion I Albert Einstein think that it was unfair for putting laws on how many people can come into the united states. Md.rafiquzzaman Albert Jonthan Einstein.
The Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair because this act purpose was to limited only the amount of Chinese immigrants coming to America instead of the limiting the other immigrants from other places. The Chinese immigrants come to America was have a better life but the people in America had treated them unfairly. Also, the Chinese immigrants had help America build buildings. Then they blame them that the Chinese immigrants had take their jobs so they kick them out. As you can see, my perspective on the Chinese Exclusion Act was that it was really unfair to the Chinese immigrants. Jennegca Chen 822
I agree with you.All the immigrants were coming to the united states for a better a life.The local people did not welcome them,however they want to get rid of them. Tingyuedong 822
I think the Chinese Exclusion act was extremely unfair,to begin with it specifically targeted a certain race. This is just like black and slave codes, limiting the rights of a certain race. In addition to this, the Chinese only made up to 1% of the people in Amercia and if they wanted to keep immigrants out they should have straight up disallow immigration all together.
The Chinese Exclusion Act, the law that was made in 1882 was meant to control people from China living and working in the U.S. How do you feel about that law? Is it fair or unfair? Why?
This law was unfair.Once the chinese immigrants mirgrate to the untited states, they work for hours and hours;and some of the job is very dangerous.For eample if they are not cautious,they could loss they life in any time.Their work makes the United states became even more successful.Because it cause the economic depression,they decide they want to limit the amount of the immigrants.They pass this law not just because of the depression,they also pass it because they don't have the jobs.The chinese immigrants wanted to earn money so they take the job with lower salary.
I agree because the Chinese did most of the work and that's why America have a lot of advances.If wasn't for the Chinese America won't even the advances like the railroads and mining. Jenny Chen 822
Yi Sen Zeng-822 Obviously the Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair,because this Act is very racist.Lets give an example:chinese people are working for America to build the skyscraper and other building stuff.How dare the America create this Act to limit the chinese people.Moreover the chinese immigrants came for a better life(education,money),it's same as the other races too.That will be showing racist of treating the chinese differently than other culture.However the chinese immigrant make America turn into great depression.But Chinese donate alot.Their hard working for America.Therefore it's unfair for Chinese immigrant that the Chinese Exclusion Act being created.
I feel that the Chinese exclusion act was unfair. The Chinese exclusion act makes chinese people harder in work or anywhere in the U.S. Chinese people should live their life in America the way they want. Finally, the act is unfair for the Chinese people. Jimmy Wu :)
I think the Chinese Exclusion act was unfair because they only control the Chinese people but not the people from other countries.The Chinese people did most of the work helping America to have more advances and in return America created the Chinese Exclusion act. If it was not for the Chinese people American would have not have any advances.
1) I feel really bad for the Chinese people because people shoudnt control others just because they came late (last). I also think that its really unfair because why would you want to control people. Especialy, after they helped you with building things such as building railroads or mining.
Johnny Fernandez 822`I think this act called the "Chinese Exclusion act" was very rude and cruel and mean. The reason I have said this was because the racism that was happening with the US. The federal law that Chester A. Arthur made was to stop immigration , moreover chinese people. That is not nice to do that even though you are the ones trying to make a roll model.
I agree with Johnny because the americans were models to the immigrants. If they treat the chinese in a crucial way they will have a bad impression on the americans. Chinese should be treated like everyone else and have freedom. The Ameicans shouldnt be taking away they're rights. This is why I agree with Johnny. Jarif Sarfer 821
i feel bad for these chinese people because they had to be control. this was unfair because they did all the work for nothing when they were sent back. michelle 822
1) I feel really bad for the Chinese people because people shoudnt control others just because they came late (last). I also think that its really unfair because why would you want to control people. Especialy, after they helped you with building things such as building railroads or mining.
I feel that the Chinese Exclusion Act that was made in 1882 was unfair to Chinese people. The Chinese people did nothing wrong and helped America with creating the railroads. However, it seemed like America was using them. After they finished using them, they banned them from staying at America. This is unfair because Chinese helped do this dangerous job that no one else would do. If they didn't do this job, there wouldn't be any fast transportation. The Chinese supported America so much and yet America just didn't care about them and used them. Also, I believe that it was unfair because the Chinese worked so hard and wasted money to get to America to get a better life and opportunity in jobs. However, when they arrive, they had to go to Angel Island. Angel Island was the "Ellis Island of the West". Angel Island had the same progress as Ellis Island. However, Angel Island was more harsh since in Angel Island they only had Asian's coming in. If the Chinese went to America when the Chinese Exclusion Act was active, they probably would have been sent back to China. They suffered so much to get to America yet all that pain and suffering was worth nothing because they were sent back to America. The Americans did this out of racism. They didn't want the Chinese people to have the American rights like them. It was the same with freed African American.
The Chinese Exclusion act was really un fair for the reason it controlled Chinese immigrants in the united states it was created in the united states but one reason it was unfair this act could also control Chinese people in China!.In my opinion it was not fair it was sort of racist;(,although I get the part to keep population balance but they only made one percent on the population at that time it was not fair.controling Chinese immigrants.miguelcapulin☆822
I strongly believe that the Chinese Exclusion act was fair.To elaborate, the Chinese Exclusion act was created to limit the the Chinese immigrants coming in to America. In addition, it was created because Americans were in a fear that Chinese people might take of the jobs and the places that Americans use to own. Furthermore, cause of many Chinese Immigrants coming in to America the wages from work decreased because since many people are looking for job and the government can not effort to pay high amount of wages as a result of that many people got job, however, the wages became low which Americans didn't like.Overall, this Act was created to limit the Chinese immigrants coming to America. Shoeb Emon 814
I feel that the Chinese exclusion act is both fair and unfair. I think that it is fair because the people that are born in the United States that have been trying to get employed have been rejected to work because the immigrants are willing to work for low wages. I think its unfair because most people come to America for better lives and this law is restricting them from bringing other family members to expand their lives in the United States. - Sabrina Basant
ReplyDeleteI think that the law is good because they let them to be in the U.S. i think that the law is fair because they could earn more money in american then they could earn money in china.so i think that the process is in good condition

I believe that its not fair because this law are just excluding the Chinese immigrants when they had help america in a very huge way. For example they help build the railroads and helped in the mining industries. This law shouldn't just excluded Chinese immigrants because there are other immigrants that they could excluded, just because they came last to america they shouldn't be treated like this cause they said that they are giving you a new chance of starting over. Plus Chinese people help with making what america is today so with out them life would be different. -Kathy Fung 811
ReplyDeleteI think this law is unfair because chinese where in america for along time they became effective to the american society. they helped with railroad building stuff and expanding the united states civilization . this law was also unfair because when america where in thier hard time. Chinese came to america and help them go through the challenge. i feel that this law is trying to take all the accomplishment the chinese made and pushing them away because the problems that were happening in their economics. it isnt fair to them Chinese people is because u cant judge them because of their culture, religion and etc.

DeleteThe Exclusion Act that had made in 1882 was meant to control people from china living and working in the U.S. I think that it is unfair because that people from the other country needed to help the other states' economy and government by working for them with out any give back. Also its unfair because that people from china have there own economy to care about, they needed to travel to United States to work for other county for nothing. People think that they have been controlled by the United State and they are like slaves that had been controlled. Many people come to United State are for a better life not working for them and letting them control them. People come to Unite States to started a new life. But they whether stay at their own country.

This can be a good thing and also a bad thing. Because,IF THE CHINESE COME TO AMERICA AND HAVE BETTER LIFE WORKING FOR THEM TO GET PAYED MONEY THIS CAN BE A POSITIVE... but if they meant to made this law to controled them not gaving them freedom to do what they want is a big negative.They wish they always work for them, but never think about their feeling that i think it was unfair...

DeleteI think that the Chinese exclusion act is unfair in many ways. I think that its unfair because people come to America to aquire a better life for themselves. To get a superior life is to get a better job, a better place to live, and etc. If the Chinese people cant get a job then how are they going to earn money for a home, food,and etc. The Chinese people would be better off at there homeland, at least there they had a place to live and a job to earn money.
DeleteNathaly Salas802
I feel that the Chinese Exclusion Act was cruel and unfair. The Chinese Exclusion Act were passed to control the amount of people from China that are living and working in the U.S. Although the immigrants came from another part of the world. It isn't fair to make a law to control the amount of people. The immigrants should have the rights to come and not be limited. In addition, the tests that the immigrants had to take to get in weren't fair either. So I think it's unfair to for them to limit and control the amount of Chinese immigrants coming to America. -Joey Zhang 811
ReplyDeleteI feel that this law was unfair because they limited the number of people that came from china.This is unfair because they only passed a law that affect one nationality and it did not benefit no one.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, this law is not a fair law. This is because when the Chinese immigrants come to America, they come for better life and more freedom. The statue of liberty that they had see at Ellis Island stands for freedom. But when they start their new life in America, they loose their freedom. The government took their freedom and make them hard to live in America. So the law is very unfair.

ReplyDeleteI think the Chinese exclusion act is unfair because they came here for a better life, better work and better pays.They had travel so far(from china all the way to the U.S. the act limited their powers to do other things that only the whites would be able to do.

ReplyDeleteThe Chinese Exclusion Act was, a law to control the Chinese people. This is just too much, the people who is taking the country to a next level and the american wants to take control over them. this is totally unfair, because the Chinese were not allowed to do everything the american were.
I think that it is unfair to prevent only the Chinese to come because
ReplyDeleteThe Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair because the act was only based on limiting the Chinese,not other race. I understand that the Act is to help America limit it's population. However, just limiting Chinese and kicking them out,is kind of relating to slavery because they are treating this race of people different from other. Chinese are here for reasons,they don't just come here becasue of nothing (leaving their family behind). They need to live and support their families just like the Europeans. To sum up, i believe this act is not fair to Chinese people. (this act was kinda racist as well.)

I think the Chinese exclusion act is unfair because they came here for a better life, better work and better pays.They had travel so far(from china all the way to the U.S. the act limited their powers to do other things that only the whites would be able to do. This act also took away many of their freedom, they were limited for lots of things for example the government limited how much percent that the Chinese workers would have.And last the statue of liberty represented freedoms for all and the Chinese exclusion act didnt show that however it was the complete opposite from it.

The Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair because America restricted the Chinese from coming there. Even though the population was getting to big, it focused on the Chinese rather than others which showed racism. Also, the Chinese did a lot of work for America and took many jobs which benefited them by paying them less but America started losing money which contributed to the Chinese Exclusion Act. It wasn't fair at to create this act against the Chinese.

The Chinese Exclusion act is really unfair because Chinese immigrants came to america to have better life and Chinese work for less and do all those dangerous jobs.This might take over many other American's job but that is not a reason for the government to take away their right of getting a better life. by zhichenglin 814
ReplyDeleteIt is obvious that The Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair.Firstly,Chinese immigrants were significant in contributing to American society.They risked their lives on constructing the railroad.Secondly,their religious and cultural effects are still important today,which testifies that Chinese Exclusion Act was a ridiculous action.Finally,the Chinese Exclusion Act limited Chinese immigrants'rights by showing discrimination toward Chinese people.

For me as a Chinese people(immigrant), I felt very angry about this law. Why? We Chinese people came to America and risking our life to help you AMERICA to built the railroad, and that's how you thanks us? By limiting our rights and not letting us live in AMERICA? Not saying it's unfair, you guys were very, very, very racist about other races of people. Treating us like what you treat African American, huh? Okay I'm not comparing us to AFRICAN AMERICAN, but you;re not giving any credits for us people building the railroad for you. You're in the depression I knew, but you want to build railroad and told other races to help you to do it? Why don't you build the railroad by yourself? Your action of this, is proving that you're worst than your "brother"(British). If you AMERICA hate us Chinese, why don't you kill us all?(Yeah go ahead, try to kill me, you will kill you too!) We Chinese have our own pride, you AMERICA try to limit our rights and not having us staying here? You're worst than a piece of garbage now! Just see how painful we are and how being racist you are. (You could never know it) You're now acting like a king and limiting other people's rights. Where's the "Land of Freedom" tht you guys all says!?

DeleteAnswer: The Chinese Exclusion Act is truly considered as unfair because the act was only created to control the Chinese and limit their population. The Chinese came for a better life and to have better opportunities but this act prevents them from settling in America and have a peaceful life like they imagined. The Chinese have done so much for America, like taking the dangerous jobs that no other people would sign up for. They built the Railroads that was useful enough to same peoples' lives and it also made it easier for people to access trading, transportation, and food. Without the Asians, especially the Chinese, the railroad wouldn't have existed and many people may have starve. this is why it's considered unfair to the Chinese and also me.

I think the Chinese Exclusion act was unfair because it was never giving the Chinese a chance to have a better life because of what they might of faced during their home place(such as maybe of poverty or of family hunger).The Chinese Exclusive act limited the way a person lived. However it was also ish fair because it helped the people in America find a easier job by limiting the amount of Chinese being employed and would help those unemployed.

For example, they helped with railroad building and expanding the united states civilization. Further more, now they are just being racist,kicking them out even though they had settle here for a long thing and have a new life here. The law were meant to control people from China living and working in the U.S.However, they have no right to control people life, If they had then what was the meaning of America.
ReplyDeleteyuxinouyang 814
I feel The Chinese Exclusion act was a fair law for a certain time. I feel this way because many of the new Chinese immigrants coming into America were not very knowledged or skilled, and automatically giving them all these rights may effect the U.S. (including something like voting for the wrong person to bring the country down). So I feel the law(limiting rights) should only take control over new in-coming immigrants until they are mature enough to be able to accomplish the American life(become a citizen) by themselves and then have access to all the rights of a citizen.
ReplyDeleteMohamed Helal 814
I place confidence, in that the Chinese Exclusion act was unfair act because it was a discriminatory law against Asian groups that wanted to come to America. Especially, since it was the first law based on race passed down by congress. Moreover, this law would prohibit Asian groups from coming to America and if they left then they couldn't come back until ten years pass. This makes coming to America and leaving back to their home country an even more complicated decision because if they leave they cant come back for a while to earn money and work. Also, many hard working Asian groups that wanted to come to America were denied to come because there was a limit of Asian groups that could arrive.
ReplyDelete^Denise Cruz
DeleteThe Chinese Exclusion Act were unfair in my honest opinions.This law specifically limited the movement of Chinese people into America and the Chinese people that was already in America.These affected the Chinese people in a destructive way.They searched for a better life and the result of the travel is "imprisionment" or back to their homeland.Each choice is not what every immigrant want and to come to America the immigrants wasted their money.Being treated as a blame was never fair to people who had never done anything terrible and they wanted to live in America even with the disadvantages working against them.
ReplyDeleteAndy Zheng 814
The Chinese Exclusion act was very unfair because it shuts out all asian groups. The immigrants had came to find a better life and economic production. Furthermore, they had done so much to improve labor in America and they treat them as blame for dropping in economic resources. Many of the asian groups had wanted to help immigrate their family members over as well; however, the act prohibits them from doing so. They don't appreciate any of the Chinese people's help and blame them for taking jobs even when they offer to help anything for some money. This concludes my reason on why I believe the Americans were unfair.

what is the Chinese exclusion act, and why was it passed? The Chinese exclusive act carried out laws design to limit/stop certain Asian groups(Chinese).From my perspective,i believe that that this was unfair for most of the immigrants coming into America.Angel island was constructed from 1905-1910.It was used as a immigration station or a detention center patrolled.about 170,000 immigrants were detained on angel island for 2 or 3 weeks sometimes years.poems were written on the walls to express their heartbreaking stories.i believe that this law was putting to much pressure on the new coming immigrants,i believe that this law was unfair.
ReplyDeletejoceline aguilar 814
In 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act was established to limit and control many rights of the Chinese immigrants. This law restricted several morality of certain Asian groups since at the time America was possessed in an economic depression. I believe this act was definitely discriminatory to the Asian groups. In addition to this, the Chinese specifically contributed numerously to the development of America. This provokes the thought that the Americans have taken advantage of the Asian people.To summarize it all, the Chinese Exclusive Act wasn't a righteous and equitable act that was published in 1882.

ReplyDeletebryant 814
I think that the Chinese Elusive Act is unfair because the law is design to specifically target Chinese immigrant that came to america and not other Asian race.For example, if a Chinese immigrant successfully came to america but wanted to come to go back to china, they wouldn't be able to successful the second time. Also, lets face the fact that they also help american to boost up their economies by building the Transcontinental Railroad and etc. Just kicking them out because of the Chinese Excursive Act isn't fair: it's also the same thing as restricting their right, just like what happen during the time of slavery.
ReplyDeleteJackie Wong 8-14
There were many reasons to why this law was unfair. To start off, who in the world would decide to create a law that would specifically restrict Asians from coming into the U.S. This is what we commonly call racism. Furthermore, they additionally created this system to limit the amount of Asians who enter by stating Asians who go back to their countries to get their family members who want to join them on their freedom would be forever prohibited to come back into the U.S. This was the U.S. government official's way to limit the population of Asians who came into America because a vast majority of them were rapidly coming. Like the slaves that used to exist, they were provided shoddy jobs that they were unaware of. Even after all they've helped the Americans they decide to create this. Salty and corrupt asf.
ReplyDeleteBryan Lieu 814
The Chinese Exclusion Act were really unfair in my perspective. It was because it were mainly limiting the Chinese from coming to America. Chinese helped America on many of the buildings, now they were kicking them out for nothing. America were treating them like slave. They limit the amount of right that Chinese have, just like slave. People come to America for money not for being control. Chinese did many things for America so they shouldn't be kick out. They can do the help their own country but they did, they help the America.
ReplyDeleteMichelle lin 814
The way how i feel about the Chinese Exclusion Act is that it was a law that made more individuals' life bad and was unfair. To demonstrate, take the Chinese immigrants as an example. The Chinese immigrants came to America to discover a better life and as a result, they contributed tremondously towards the growth of America. However, as America discovered a drop in economy and started to fear things that might happen, they placed the blame on Chinese immigrants and made the Chinese Exclusion law to limit the amount of Chinese immigrants coming in. Not only did America placed the blame on things that might not be the cause of the drop in economy and discriminated the Chinese immigrants, they also included other Asian groups such as Indonesians and treated them the same way. Therefore, it demonstrates how the Chinese Exclusion Act was unfair and made life for some other individuals' worse

ReplyDeleteI feel terrible about the chinese people. For example, it takes about 17 hours to get from China to America using the airplane. This means that chinese people traveled more than 2 months on the ship in order to get to America for no reason. Even though, chinese people helped America, they go nothing in return. This leads to unfairness. Thanks to Chinese people AMrica became more advanced.China brough culture, materials and other stuff that was very useful.Chinese people risked their life in order to help Americans. However, instead of Americans helping, they just controlled them and used them for their own benefits. To summarize this whole thing i think it was very unfair what Americans did to Chinese people.

I feel that the Chinese Exclusion Act that was made in 1882 was unfair to Chinese people. The Chinese people did nothing wrong and helped America with creating the railroads. However, it seemed like America was using them. After they finished using them, they banned them from staying at America. This is unfair because Chinese helped do this dangerous job that no one else would do. If they didn't do this job, there wouldn't be any fast transportation. The Chinese supported America so much and yet America just didn't care about them and used them. Also, I believe that it was unfair because the Chinese worked so hard and wasted money to get to America to get a better life and opportunity in jobs. However, when they arrive, they had to go to Angel Island. Angel Island was the "Ellis Island of the West". Angel Island had the same progress as Ellis Island. However, Angel Island was more harsh since in Angel Island they only had Asian's coming in. If the Chinese went to America when the Chinese Exclusion Act was active, they probably would have been sent back to China. They suffered so much to get to America yet all that pain and suffering was worth nothing because they were sent back to America. The Americans did this out of racism. They didn't want the Chinese people to have the American rights like them. It was the same with freed African American.

I strongly believe that the Chinese Exclusion act was fair.To elaborate, the Chinese Exclusion act was created to limit the the Chinese immigrants coming in to America. In addition, it was created because Americans were in a fear that Chinese people might take of the jobs and the places that Americans use to own. Furthermore, cause of many Chinese Immigrants coming in to America the wages from work decreased because since many people are looking for job and the government can not effort to pay high amount of wages as a result of that many people got job, however, the wages became low which Americans didn't like.Overall, this Act was created to limit the Chinese immigrants coming to America.
