Answer:
As discontent against the Chinese people rose in the United States, it was hard for the government to reconcile American sentiments and result was the Chinese Exclusion Act.
Explanation:
The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was the first major statute limiting immigration of particular ethnic groups into the United States. It was a reaction to a native retaliation against Chinese immigration on the United States West Coast. A group of American workers thought that the Chinese were competing unfairly, arguing that they had been brought into the country to provide cheap labor.
