WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
apologize for the Chinese exclusion laws and reaffirm that the greatness of
our nation was built on inclusion.
The 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act and a series of laws represented more than 60
years of harsh legislation targeting Chinese for physical and political
exclusion. They explicitly barred Chnese from immigration and citizenship
and became a "Barred Zone" to exclude all Asians. The laws established the
confrontational character of the execution of immgration laws up to today.
Despite hardships and discrimination, generations of Chinese Americans
helped build the first transcontinental railroad, fought in wars to defend
the nation, and contributed to every segment of American society.
The State of California apologized for its anti-Chinese laws. The US Senate
and House issued resolutions of regret. Only the President has not closed
this shameful chapter in American history with an apology.
