Repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act, mainly because of the political interests of the United States
1882 "Chinese Exclusion Act" after the implementation, according to the U.S. Immigration Records, in 1884 the Chinese immigrants only 279, 1885 22, 1886 40, 1887 10, 1888 26, 1889 118 and to 1892, not a single Chinese person throughout the year to the United States. In 1892, the U.S. Congress legislation to make all of the Chinese Exclusion Act are extended for a decade, and added a lot of discrimination against Chinese terms; 1902 further legislation to extend all the Chinese Exclusion Act decade; 1904, Congress resolved: the Chinese Exclusion Act valid forever ......

Until 1943, the U.S. government formally announced the abolition of "Chinese Exclusion Act." The abolition of the Act, the U.S. government has repeatedly revise its immigration policy, each modification, are accompanied on the Chinese and even the entire Asian ethnic origin. For example: According to the 1921 Immigration Act, the annual immigration quota of 35.8 million, of which about 20 million people give NWE countries, 15.5 million people to the South-East European countries, with the exception thousands of places allocated to Africa and Asia, which are not prohibited immigrants into the United States;

Another example: in 1924 through Johnson - Reid bill that would immigration quotas by national origin is divided into non-quota immigrants and immigration, the provisions of the Act, 95% of the amount attributable to the European countries, immigration, that is, only the European immigration, especially in western Europe and the Nordic immigrants moved to the U.S. to qualify - discrimination is more obvious: Birthplace of European immigrants are delineated limits attribution, while Asian immigrants are not. Born non-represented countries in the Western Hemisphere people of Asian descent (including only half of Asian descent) not having a non-quota eligibility; Even married people have with the Western Hemisphere, the United States can only be moved to occupy the country of origin of their parents limit.

In 1943 the United States repealed the Chinese Exclusion Act, there are two of the most important reasons: First, "racism" fig leaf can not be reused. Nazi Germany during World War II to engage in "racism," trumpeted and practice the "noble Aryan descent theory", the "racist" infamous overnight, the United States ranked Chinese domestic long-term support of the "Anglo - Saxon racism "also rapidly lost market," Chinese Exclusion Act "and therefore lost his existence" theory. "

Second, for the fight against Japan's actual needs. The U.S. government is keenly aware of: China and Japan, and the United States have racially discriminatory immigration policy victim, while Japan just taking advantage of this, the highly publicized and expose U.S. and other persecution of the Chinese Exclusion Act of immigrants from Asia. " history of crime ", and then sell their" Asia for Asians "proposition. As U.S. Senator Luoer Si warning to the U.S. Congress as: "Japan's propaganda advantage of our Chinese friends exclusion and humiliation laws. Embarrassing is that these propaganda are the facts, while the use of the fact that it is no doubt most powerful propaganda. "Chinese Exclusion Act repealed the reason ultimately passed, it is also precisely the emphasis on the" favorable to the U.S. war "that, as President Roosevelt's message to Congress in particular stated:" China now our allies ...... repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act, we can correct the mistakes of history and clog live in Japan distorted propaganda. "

But abolish the Chinese Exclusion Act, Chinese immigrants in the United States does not mean that discrimination to an end. In fact, discrimination is still everywhere, the same year introduced the "Manukan Johnson Act," but given the Chinese immigration quotas each year 105, many other discriminatory provisions still do not get changed. U.S. hopes to repeal only the Chinese Exclusion Act, an encouraging Chinese government continues to war with Japan; 2, offsetting Japanese colonialism and racism against whites complaints.
