The Chinese Exclusion Act was one of the United States signed at the end of the 19th century in which the immigration ban of Chinese workers to the United States was established.

During those years, the Chinese offered their cheap labor and were hired for important infrastructure works such as:
- The first transcontinental railroad.
This increased segregation towards the Chinese population who were being restricted to prevent them from "taking" jobs from Americans. However, with the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Chinese were directly rejected in the United States.
