Always interesting to find out how a law became a law. (Also interesting that at one time the Chinese were targets.)
No. hated Native Americans long before Chinese. No Treaty between the US and Native tribes were ever honored as laid out and agreed upon. But Natives weren't considered immigrants. Just a nuisance ti be rid of. But, yes. First ofgicial Immigration Actcwas focused on the Chinese (yellow peril).
Thanks for sharing . So we really hated the Chinese before anyone eh?
