    The Chinese Exclusion act of 1882 was passed because the Americans were scared of the Chinese taking their jobs. The act was not justified because it seemed like a repeat of what happened with blacks and slavery. The u.s. Should be able to offer equal opportunities to all people regardless of race or creed.
