oct 20, 1943 - 1943 Chinese Exclusion Act repealed
Description:
The Chinese Exclusion Act was repealed in 1943, removing the annual quota that limited Chinese migration to 105 visas per year. The action was done to strengthen ties with World War II ally China, who was under the influence of Japanese propaganda which referenced Chinese exclusion from the U.S. However, while the Act was repealed, the still standing Immigration Act of 1924 stated that aliens ineligible for U.S. citizenship were not permitted to enter the U.S. and this included Chinese.15Added to timeline:
