1882
the chinese exclusion act was repealed by the 1943 magnuson act, during a time when china had become an ally of the u.s. against japan in world war ii as the us needed to embody an image of fairness and justice. the magnuson act permitted chinese nationals already residing in the country to become naturalized citizens and stop hiding from the threat of deportation. while the magnuson act overturned the discriminatory chinese exclusion act, it only allowed a national quota of 105 chinese immigrants per year, and did not repeal the restrictions on immigration from the other asian countries. large scale chinese immigration did not occur until the passage of the immigration and nationality act of 1965. the crackdown on chinese immigrants reached a new level in its last decade, from 1956–1965, with the chinese confession program launched by the immigration and naturalization service, that encouraged chinese who had committed immigration fraud to confess, so as to be eligible for some leniency in treatment.
