Chinese Immigrants In The Chinese Must Go

When they arrived in America most of the Chinese immigrants moved west. Most of the Chinese immigrants moved west because they wanted to get jobs in rural areas and build homes for their families. A lot of Chinese immigrants got jobs working on building railroads. The Chinese immigrants were very good at this job, because they got paid very low wages, and that affected the pay rates of white Americans, European immigrants, and Russian immigrants. In the 1882 Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act. This act stated that Chinese laborers could not enter the country, because chinese immigrants accepted low wages, and also affected the pay rates of others. However Immigrants from Italy and Russia did not have to go through this. They also had an easier time getting jobs because of

After the first wave of Chinese immigrants arrived in the United States in the early 1840s during the California Gold Rush, many Chinese people continued to travel across the Pacific, escaping poor conditions in China with hopes and ambitions for a better life in America. Many more Chinese immigrants began arriving into the 1860s on the Pacific coast for work in other areas such as the railroad industry. The immigrants noticed an increasing demand for their labor because of their readiness to work for low wages. Many of those who arrived did not plan to stay long, and therefore there was no push for their naturalization. The immigrants left a country with thousands of years of a “decaying feudal system,” corruption, a growing

American citizens despised the Chinese workers because they worked very hard and followed instructions for very little pay, as stated in a speech given by a German immigrant on the Chinese exclusion act he said “It is almost impossible for a poor white servant girl to find employment in a white family. No! The mistress of the house wants a Chinaman. Why? He is very handy. She can say, ‘John Chinaman, do this’, and John does it, and John never says a word”. The white immigrants assumed that the Chinese were doing this to spite them and steal the jobs the white immigrants and American citizens thought they were entitled to. Another example of Americans and white immigrants accusing the Chinese of taking

Many immigrants who arrived in the United States of America often times felt like “Strangers to These Shores.” The Chinese immigrants were no different, and were not spared from prejudice, racism or discrimination. In fact, many Chinese migrants came as sojourners in the early nineteenth century for various push and pull factors and posed a real threat to Irish union workers; life was not easy for the Chinese during this period in time.

Amongst the Asian immigrants who were the first exposed to the hatred of nativist white folks, was the Chinese immigrants who came here in the 1800s for gold and other opportunities that China could not give them. Before coming nobody ever heard stories of how much hate white Americans had for the Asians, so there was no way of knowing. Amongst all things newspapers were one of the top contributors on the fight against immigration and put out some really hurtful editorials. Thomas Magee who was aligned with the Knights of Labor an organization against immigrant labor, writes in one of his articles “MEN FROM CHINA come here to do LAUNDRY WORK...Every one doing this work takes BREAD from the mouths of OUR WOMEN.”1 A very provocative statement

The Lo Wah Kiu were immigrants that came to EEUU before 1965 and Wa Yeoy were after and several laws were changed. This ones, eagerly sought adventures in their progressive relationship with the rest of society, Likewise, the Magnuson Law of 1943, which effectively repealed the Exclusion Law, "only allowed 105 Chinese immigrants per year, reflecting the persistent prejudice against the Chinese in US immigration policy.

Chinese immigrants came to the United States during the time of the building of the transcontinental railroad that was completed in 1869. The two tracks met at Promontory, Utah, and was finished mostly by the Chinese immigrants. The whites felt threatened by how willing the Chinese workers were to work for a small amount of wage and they know how that would depress the economy. This shows a rise in nativism and wanted the Chinese immigrants out indefinitely. In Document 3, there is an exaggeration of how the whites expressed themselves towards the Chinese by calling them “slaves” since they are doing cheap labor.

In the early 1800’s industrialization of the northeast and other national endeavors such as railroads and road building required much manual labor. This vast manual labor job market opened the flood gates into the United States for immigrants seeking prosperity and a better life for themselves and their families. By the mid 1800’s many Chinese immigrants had made the voyage to the U.S. and sought work mainly in the factories of the prosperous northeast as well as the California gold mines. Culturally the Chinese people’s actions are motivated by the concept of bringing honor and respect to the family as a whole, and less concerned about individual successes or prestige, which resulted in Chinese immigrant’s willingness to do high quality work for long hours for very little pay. This was beneficial to the employer and company, but displaced many other immigrant workers which caused racial tensions. Chinese immigrants were accustomed to living in tight quarters, working together as families or community units and making do with what was available. These qualities assisted in the development of China Towns, housing and cultural centers for the Chinese immigrant population, near or in the large cities where their populations were greatest such as New York and San Francisco as. Many Americans viewed these China Towns as unsanitary and unhealthy brothels where prostitution and smoking opium was commonplace.

As the recession hit, it became attractive to hire Chinese immigrants because they were willing to work for less while whites were not. The presence of Chinese labor became an insecurity for whites as it reminded them that they could easily be replaced as assumptions about white superiority and non-white inferiority came to influence views on work and immigration. As the economy worsened and the panic of 1857 began, racist anti-Chinese rhetoric emerged and spread among labor organizers and “Chinese were accused of being dangerous, deceitful and vicious, criminal, cowardly and inferior from a mental and moral point of view.” White labor organizers used this rhetoric to portray Chinese immigrants as dangerous and as unchristian in ways in

Millions of immigrants over the previous centuries have shaped the United States of America into what it is today. America is known as a “melting pot”, a multicultural country that welcomes and is home to an array of every ethnic and cultural background imaginable. We are a place of opportunity, offering homes and jobs and new economic gains to anyone who should want it. However, America was not always such a “come one, come all” kind of country. The large numbers of immigrants that came during the nineteenth century angered many of the American natives and lead to them to blame the lack of jobs and low wages on the immigrants, especially the Asian communities. This resentment lead to the discrimination and legal exclusion of immigrants,

In the 1850s, many Chinese workers migrated to America by starting in the gold mines to agricultural jobs to factory work to garment industry. Chinese immigrants were instrumental in building the railroads in the West. As the Chinese laborers increased, so did the anti-Chinese sentiment among workers in the American economy. In result, passing legislation that limited future Chinese laborers in the United States. The Chinese Exclusion Act was formed from the unsettling of economic competition. Most Chinese labors sent money back to China to support their families as well as pay of loans to those who paid for their trip to America. The pressures left them to work for whatever wages they could get. However, white laborers required higher wages.

In the 1800s, after the Civil War (1861 to 1865), massive waves of new settlers migrated to the United States. May these were Chinese immigrants who sought to take advantage of the Gold Rush in California. Most of them were men, without family. Between that time, hundreds and hundreds of Chinese immigrants arrived, mostly in San Francisco, where they established a place called “Chinatown.” Establishing the place helped encouraged around four thousand Chinese women per year to immigrate to the United States, to be with their husband or father, helping Chinamen managing household. The gold attracted so many immigrants to California, and the desired for wealth attracted Southerners, who brought with them their racial attitude from the south. Work was well paying; a prejudice against Chinese was born. Hate and violence accompanied the competence against Chinese; and brutality against
