the magnuson act, also known as the chinese exclusion repeal act of 1943, was an immigration legislation proposed by u.s. representative (later senator) warren g. magnuson of washington and signed into law on december 17, 1943 in the united states. it allowed chinese immigration for the first time since the chinese exclusion act of 1882, and permitted some chinese immigrants already residing in the country to become naturalized citizens. however, the magnuson act provided for the continuation of the ban against the ownership of property and businesses by ethnic chinese. in many states, chinese americans (including us citizens) were denied property-ownership rights either by law or de facto until the magnuson act itself was fully repealed in 1965.
