Dallaskevin; It really is hard to take you serious. I'm not sure if it is your intent to mislead people or if you are just can't read - or what? Let me highlight for you from the link I sent - <<<<< The Chinese Exclusion Act was a United States federal law signed by Chester A. Arthur on May 6, 1882, following revisions made in 1880 to the Burlingame Treaty of 1868. Those revisions allowed the U.S. to suspend Chinese immigration, a ban that was intended to last 10 years. This law was repealed by the Magnuson Act on December 17, 1943. Additionally, another obvious mistake since you used 1924; The Emergency Quota Act, also known as the Emergency Immigration Act of 1921, the Immigration Restriction Act of 1921, the Per Centum Law, and the Johnson Quota Act (ch. 8, 42 Stat. 5 of May 19, 1921) restricted immigration into the United States. Again quoting; because it added two new features to American immigration law: numerical limits on immigration from Europe and the use of a quota system for establishing those limits. BUT; even that wasn't the first official Federal Act restricting Immigration; If you were dumb, you were restricted from coming in. Old and feeble send them home, Not enough money send them home and so on. You are absolutely WRONG here that these were State laws. They weren't and for the life of me I can't figure out why you claim they were?
