The Chinese Exclusion Act had several consequences:
1. Increased discrimination towards Chinese immigrants: The act specifically targeted Chinese immigrants and restricted their entry into the United States. This led to a rise in discriminatory practices against the Chinese community.
2. Heightened prejudice against the Chinese community: The legislation fueled negative stereotypes and prejudice against Chinese immigrants, contributing to a hostile environment for the Chinese population in the U.S.
3. Violations of civil liberties: The Chinese Exclusion Act violated the civil liberties of Chinese immigrants by singling them out based on their ethnicity and denying them rights that other immigrant groups had.
Overall, the Chinese Exclusion Act did not result in fair and equal treatment for all immigrants. Instead, it perpetuated discrimination and prejudice against the Chinese community in the United States.
