What was one reason for the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882?

Hello! ^^ Jaesuk~Sakai Here!

Explanation:

The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was the first significant law restricting immigration into the United States. Many Americans on the West Coast attributed declining wages and economic ills to Chinese workers. Although the Chinese composed only .002 percent of the nation's population, Congress passed the exclusion act to placate worker demands and assuage prevalent concerns about maintaining white "racial purity."
