The Beginning of 1850 a handful for Chinese workers had immigrated to America. The Chinese people worked on gold mines, garment factories, built railroads and took agricultural jobs. Anti Chinese sentiment grew and Chinese laborers became successful in the United States. They only made up to 0.002 percent of the United States population. This act was the first in American history to place harsh restrictions on certain immigrant groups. The Immigration Act of 1891 also restricts people from entering into the United States.

The Immigration Act of 1917 establishes a literacy requirement from immigrants entering the United States and stops immigration from most of the Asia countries. In May 1924 The Immigration Act of 1924 limits the number of immigrants allowed in the United States yearly through nationality quotas. It is said in History.com “Under the new quota system, the United States issues immigration visas to 2 percent of the total number of people of each nationality in the United States at the 1890 census.” These laws favors immigration from Northern and Western European counties. “Just three countries, Great Britain, Ireland and Germany account for 70 percent of all available visas. Immigration from Southern, Central and Eastern Europe was limited. The Act completely excludes immigrants from Asia, aside from the Philippines, at the time an American colony.” This is what the act does for other countries who want to move to the United States. ]]> 2023-04-28 20:02:48 UTC https://padlet.com/bpa2501_2/y05c26y16g2l2y4f/wish/2572205720 bpa2501_2 https://padlet.com/bpa2501_2/y05c26y16g2l2y4f/wish/2572273061 President Ronald Reagan signs into law the Simpson Mazzoli Act. This act grants Amnesty to more than 3 million immigrants living living legally in the United States. In 2001, “U.S. Senators Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) propose the first Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, which would provide a pathway to legal status for Dreamers, undocumented immigrants brought to the United States illegally by their parents as children. The bill—and subsequent iterations of it—don’t pass.” In 2012 President Barack Obama signs Deferred Action for childhood arrivals. This shields dreams from deportation for a period of time but does not provide a path to citizenship. In 2017 President Donald Trump “ issues two executive orders aimed at curtailing travel and immigration from six majority Muslim countries (Chad, Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia) as well as North Korea and Venezuela. Both of these so-called Muslim travel bans are challenged in state and federal courts.” In 2018 “the travel restrictions on Chad are lifted. In June 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court uphold a third version of the travel ban on the remaining seven countries.“
