Chinese Exclusion Act (ME) Eric Carmona


            The Congress passed the Act and 1882 and it barred the Chinese immigration for 10 years and it prevented the already in the United States to become citizens.  The Congress renewed the law in 1892 and made it permanent in 1902.  In 1906 the San Francisco Board of Education ordered all the Chinese, Japanese and Korean children to attend a racially school in the Chinatown neighborhood.  Chinese children have been forced to attend racially schools since 1859. 
            Japan took great offense to the treatment they were giving to their people.  In that response Roosevelt invited the school board leaders to the White House.  He made them a deal that he would limit Japanese immigration if the school board would cancel their segregation order.  After that he began talks to Japan and negotiated an agreement and Japan agreed to reduce the emigration of Japanese to the United States.
