After the Civil War， immigrants again began to stream to the United States. Between 1870 and 1900， nearly 12 million immigrants arrived--more foreign-born people than had come to the country in the preceding 70 years. During the 1870s and 1880s， the majority came from Germany， Ireland， and England--the principal source of immigration before the Civil War. Even so， a relatively large group of Chinese immigrated to the United States between the start of the California gold rush in 1849 and 1882， when federal law stopped their immigration.
While the majority of immigrants came to settle in the United States permanently， many worked for a time and returned home with whatever savings they had set aside from their work. The majority of Chinese immigrants， for example， were single men who worked for a while and returned home. At first， they were attracted to North America by the gold rush in California. Many prospected for gold on their own or labored for other miners. Soon， many opened their own businesses such as restaurants， laundries， and other personal service concerns. After the gold rush， Chinese immigrants worked as agricultural laborers， on railroad construction crews throughout the West， and in low-paying industrial jobs. With the onset of hard economic times in the 1870s， other immigrants and European Americans began to compete for the jobs traditionally reserved for the Chinese. With economic competition came dislike and even racial suspicion and hatred. Such feelings were accompanied by anti-Chinese riots and pressure， especially in California， for the exclusion of Chinese immigrants from the United States. The result of this pressure was the Chinese Exclusion Act， passed by Congress in 1882. This Act virtually ended Chinese immigration for nearly a century. As the following documents suggest， there were many opinions about this issue.

美国移民政策的那题。开头先说了一个法案，有些专家认为这个法案歧视了中国移民，但其实这些专家忽略了这个法案在其它方面所造成的正面影响，接下来说了一些影响，最后说虽然这个Act歧视了中国移民，但至少这个Act促使了中国移民经过正常申请成为美国公民的程序。

【版本3】
美国内部中国移民法的。开始提出一个观点说这个移民法妨碍了中国人移民到美国，以前认为是只影响中国人的，但马上提出一个转折说其实也影响了其他的人 就是说不是针对中国人的，然后说这个法案怎么来的。只不过刚好实施之后刚好就影响中国人了，最后说其实对中国人也有一些好处，这些不允许被移民的人至少有 了一个DUE DATE，或者一个申诉的机会。
相对来说这篇比较难懂，我细细读了两遍才开始做题。：）

【版本3】
美国排华法案：排华法案是个歧视性法案，这是共识，作者只是探讨了排华法案的其他影响。1排华法案影响了所有的因民，不光包括中国，
2好像是关于身体检查的一个影响，
3是提供了一个正式的程序，处理移民问题，并使美国成立了移民局
