Title
"Golden Rule vs. Chinese Exclusion"
Description
Starting with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, a series of federal U.S. laws banned Chinese laborers from immigrating, and it made it illegal for Chinese nationals already in America to become naturalized citizens. Chinese immigrants had to register with immigration authorities and carry a Certificate of Residence with them, without which they could face deportation. The Exclusion laws not only impacted Chinese artisans here for the Fair but also the Chinese communities living in the heartland of America.
