Everything about The Magnuson Act totally explained
The
Magnuson Act also known as the
Chinese Exclusion Repeal Act of 1943 was
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 Chinese nationals already residing in the country to become
naturalized citizens. This marked the first time since the
Naturalization Act of 1790 that any
Asians were permitted to be naturalized.
It was passed during
World War II, when China was a welcome ally to the United States. It limited Chinese immigrants to 105 visas per year selected by the government. That quota was determined by the
Immigration Act of 1924, which set immigration from an allowed country at 2% of the number of people who were already living in the United States in 1890 of that nationality. Chinese immigration later increased with the passage of the
Immigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965.
