These policies excluded the Japanese and Filipinos, along with a wide range of nations from Asia, from immigrating. On May 6, 1882, the Exclusion Act was passed.

It was a ten year moratorium on Chinese labor immigration.

The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and Alien Contract Labor laws of 1885 and 1887 did not allow laborers immigrates in to the United States. The general Immigration Act of 1882 impost a head. These immigration laws created the need for new FBI. The Chinese Exclusion Act was approved on May 6, 1882. It was the first law not allowing immigration into the United States.

Other countries such as Ireland, Germany, Italy, and Britain, allowed thousands of people within the quota. Several other immigration laws that hindered Asian immigration into American was the 1917, which required immigrants over the age of 16 to take a reading test in any language.

Last spring semester, I took GOVT 2305 - the Federal Government- and found myself involved in discussions and debates. I immediately registered for the next government class and thought it would be another interesting class. Not many students have an opportunity to study government during the most intense and exciting time in America - the presidential race. Considering it is an Honors class, I thought it would be a challenge with many assignments and exams that are due weekly. By taking my academic progress to a new level, I wanted to challenge my time-management skill and improve my writing skill; I also want to get a special recognition from the Honors institution on my transcript and separate myself from other students.

The Chinese Exclusion Act prohibited all immigration of Chinese Laborers. Most of the Chinese Laborers that came to the United States kind enough sent money to their families back in China to support their families. At the same time, it was their responsibility to repay the loans to the Chinese merchants who were willing enough to pay their journey to America. There were some advocates of anti-chinese legislation that argued that letting in Chinese into the U.S. lowered the cultural and moral standards of society. The way they addressed these rising social tensions, is that from the 1850s to the 1870s, the California state government passed a series of measures that was aimed at Chinese residents, ranging from requiring special licenses for Chinese businesses or workers.

My long term career and educational goals are to graduate from college with a double major in Spanish and Piano Pedagogy with a 3.9 GPA. I would like to open a private piano studio and tutor Spanish. I also hope to be able to teach English as a second language to Latinos and Hispanics in my community. To reach my longer term goals I first of all need to decide which college I will go to! When I get to college I need to do what I did for my shorter term goals - budget my time and be responsible.

Immigration has always been a major part of American history. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people travel to the United States in search of a better life. Of the 1.49 million immigrants who traveled to the United States in 2016, 150,400 immigrants were from Mexico. There have also been many people from Mexico who have immigrated illegally to America, with 5.6 million Mexican unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2015 and 2016. The large scale of immigration, both legal and illegal, has brought up issues such as national security and the U.S. economy.

The quota allowed entry into the USA for only two percent of the total number of people of each nationality and completely excluded immigrants from Asia. At its roots, the 1924 Immigration Act was established only to preserve the ideal of U.S. homogeneity. Nativism has since inspired similar policy action, the most recent of which includes an attempted ban of refugees to the United States, suggestions of a physical wall, preventing immigrants from Latin America from entering our country, and the removal of legislation that protects the children of illegal immigrants. The Washington Post reports that the current administration's travel ban has denied over 90,000 individuals entry into the United States. America glorifies the wholesome business-oriented, white identity which directly contrasts the reality of immigrants today.

From 1776 to 1870 population was raised by millions of more people, and voting rights changed, even now our voting is open to all sorts of people. Now in 2016 there are 50 states, in 1776 there were 13. As said before the United States of America had many differences during the time period of 1776 and

I have spent most of my student life assuming that since I fluently spoke English back home and had the ability to understand different circumstances I did not realize that writing was a part of it obviously, I thought I did not need to study it as I would a foreign language like Chinese or French, but it was a whole lot different thing when I get in here two years ago. On enrolling as a freshman, I immediately realized that I would need more language skills, especially reading and writing skills. I understand that I have to learn how to use the language effectively because the bulk of my course work require reading, research, analysis, and writing skills. English 1301 class affords me a timely opportunity to acquire proper writing skills at the beginning of my college education. The class will prepare me effectively for academic scholarship, to fulfill my future career being a doctor, and, everything that I am going to do in

The public schools’ content, discipline, and amount of religiosity differed due to the early influences, general demographics, and the three sections. All states in America had free public schools by 1870, but attendance was not completely mandatory. Into the twentieth century, as it became a known fact that the more educated a person was, the more productive they could be, laws were established that required all foreigners to be americanized so that American education was able to expand and be unified as one

The Chinese head tax was targeted toward the immigrants from 1872; impacting the cause of prohibition of all Chinese immigrants in 1923. In relation to equal rights for each indiviual, Trudeau believed that discrimination and racism should not be allowed when accepting one as an immigrate. In 1976, a new Immigration Act came into law. This act gave more power to the provinces of setting their own immigration laws. Following the critia of cultural and demographic goals and non-discriminatory.

Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 “was the first significant law restricting immigration into the United States.” Signed by President Chester A. Arthur, this act allowed a 10 year suspension on labor immigration from the Chinese. This act required that any non-laborers who wanted entry into the U.S. must have certification from the Chinese government in order to immigrate. They found that proving to be non-laborers was very difficult because this act excluded the Chinese who were skilled/unskilled laborers and those who were employed in mining. The act also required that any Chinese person who left the U.S. after already entering must have certifications from the Chinese government in order to re-enter. This

This new law caused an increase from an estimated 300,000 to 2 million prison inmates over the course of the last two decades. (Michelle Alexander, 2010) According to Rebecca C. Hatey and Jennifer L. Eberhdt of Stanford University, California holds only 7% of African American population but 45% of California’s prison inmates are African American under the three strikes law. (Racial Disparities in Incarceration Increase Acceptance of Punitive Policies 2014) Michelle Alexander writes that the mass incarceration of the 1990’s created a new “racial caste system” and extreme funding for the criminal system. (Michelle Alexander, 2010:58) The three strikes law targeted the communities affluent with minority groups. At the turn of the 21st century the majority that entered the prison system were African Americans and Latinos.

There are approximately 350 million individuals living with DM worldwide. In the United States, the rate of T2DM has increased in individuals of AA descent with the prevalence rate escalating in the past 30 years and has quadrupled.
