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.
