Immigration Act

With the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, Chinese laborers became the first group in American history to be excluded from the United States on the basis of their race and class.

A Nation of Nations follows the lives of a few immigrants to Fairfax County over recent decades as they gradually "Americanize".
