Why did the US Congress pass an exclusion act in 1882 barring Chinese immigrants​

The US Congress passed an Exclusion Act in 1882 barring Chinese immigrants because Chinese immigrants work for low wages, which labor leaders felt took jobs away from US citizens.

Further Explanation:

During the Gilded Age (late 19th century) America was expanding rapidly through industrialization. As this industrialization increased, the demand for workers to build the transcontinental railroad increased. In order to keep costs low, railroad companies hired workers willing to take low wages. Usually, these individuals were immigrants from other countries (especially China).

American workers responded negatively to these immigrants, as they were willing to work for less than them. This resulted in increased anti-immigrant sentiment around the US. This ideology became known as nativism. This concept focuses on putting the needs and wants of American born citizens first before the needs of immigrants. These nativists helped to create the 'Know Nothing Party' which focused on limiting the political rights of immigrants new to America.

after a more than a decade and a half of combating al qaeda (aq) in afghanistan and pakistan,

the united states faces a diverse array of threats from al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and

africa. while senior al qaeda figures reportedly remain based in pakistan, the network includes

a number of affiliates across the middle east and africa including al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula (aqap), al qaeda in the islamic maghreb (aqim), and al shabaab. al qaeda also

retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

qaeda still maintains a foothold in syria through its ties to hay’at tahrir al sham (formerly

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

report examines the threat posed by al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and africa as described

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
