How come the asian civil rights act has not bern successful?

answer:

1876, Senator Aaron A. Sargent of California, anti-Chinese immigration crusader.

No other piece of immigration legislation so specifically singled out a people as did the Chinese

Exclusion Act of 1882, and no other law in its wake has ever done the same. According to

the Act, signed by President Chester A. Arthur, all immigration to the U.S. from China was

banned for ten years, and Chinese residents living in the country were prevented from natu-

ralizing as American citizens. In essence, the Chinese were no longer welcome in the United States.

While the mass exclusion imposed a ban on Chinese immigration to the U.S. for ten years, the Act was

eventually renewed indefinitely, making it impossible for Chinese Americans living in the U.S. to reunite

with their families in China and prohibiting the Chinese from entering the country, a restriction that would

remain steadfastly in place for over half a century until the mid-twentieth century.

During the 1880s, it became increasingly difficult for Chinese Americans in the country to live peace-

fully and without incident. Chinese immigrants who had lived on U.S. soil for years or had become perma-

nent residents were no longer granted the same path to citizenship that others were. They were required to

obtain Section 6 certificates, papers that confirmed their legal status, which they had to carry on them at all

times at risk of deportation. They were allowed to leave and reenter the U.S. only by providing cumbersome

documentation.

Such extreme negativity toward the Chinese had not always been the case, though admittedly, feelings

had always been mixed. When they first immigrated to the U.S. during the Gold Rush (or “Gold Mountain”

as the Chinese called it in 1849), discrimination was prevalent but not yet pervasive. However, the Foreign

Miners’ Tax was established in 1952, which heavily taxed the Chinese despite their paltry income (yet would

provide the state with much of its revenue).1

In 1868, with the signing of the Burlingame Treaty with China, U.S. officials too initially expressed

little nativism, instead welcoming the Chinese and encouraging them to immigrate to America. Around the

same time, the building of the Transcontinental Railroad required massive numbers of workers to perform

hard labor, a need that was fulfilled by the introduction of tens of thousands of Chinese workers who were
