In the late 1930′s, there was not much for young Chinese laundry workers to do anything else other than work. Just about ten years earlier, the Immigration Act of 1924 had effectively shut the door on all immigration from Asia to the United States declaring that all Asians were “not eligible” for citizenship. It then went on to state that persons not eligible for citizenship were barred from entering the United States. Since Asians were not eligible for citizenship, this meant that any Asian who was not a citizen of the United States at the time the law was passed could not leave the country if he or she ever wished to return later.
