The Chinese Exclusion Act was a United States federal law signed on May 6, 1882, prohibiting all immigration of Chinese. The Law remained in effect until 1952.
The first significant Chinese immigration to North America began with the California Gold Rush of 1848–1855 and it continued with subsequent large labor projects, such as the building of the First Transcontinental Railroad.
After the Railroad Construction was Done the need for Chinamen vanished and Laws preventing them from immigrating were passed. Many People who were here were violently encouraged to Go Back to China.
Imagine what a different world we would live in if 100 million Chinese lived in the USA... or even 10 million...
