Served the remainder of Garfield's term. Sought a full term, but was not re-nominated. The Arthur Administration enacted the first general Federal immigration law. Arthur approved a measure in 1882 excluding paupers, criminals, and the mentally ill. Congress also suspended Chinese immigration for ten years with the Chinese Exclusion Act, later making the restriction permanent.
繼Garfield,Arthur擔任了美國總統。他希望能完成任期,但是沒有再被提名。亞瑟政府頒布了第一部移民法典。Arthur在1882年通過了排斥移民、罪犯和精神有問題的人的措施。國會也通過《排華法案》禁止中國移民長達10年,而后,該限制改成了永久制。
