1882年美国排华法案规定自通过之日起，10年内暂停华工来美打工，合法留居美国的华工欲离开美国回中国探亲并
重新回到美国的，需在离关时登记，领取回美证明，否则一概为非法行为并不得再次进入美国国境；中国政府发放的来美证明必须经过美国海关官员的认证；中国人
无权加入美国籍。这一法案后来经多次修改、增补及重新制订，对华人来美限制越来越严格.
排华法案的通过助长了早已存在的排华情绪，并导致19世纪80年代后期一系列重大排华事件的发生，给旅美华侨生命财产造成巨大损失.
在一系列排华法案实施的半个多世纪（1882-1943）当中，华裔遭到白人排斥，被拒绝进入美国甚至被美国移民当局驱逐出境。苛刻的法律条文不仅仅是针对已经移民美国的中国公民，而且针对所有试图进入美国的华裔华人。

The Chinese Exclusion Act was one of the most significant restrictions on free immigration in U.S. history. For the first time, Federal law proscribed entry of an ethnic working group on the premise that it endangered the good order of certain localities. The Act excluded Chinese "skilled and unskilled laborers employed in mining" from entering the country for ten years under penalty of imprisonment and deportation. Many Chinese were relentlessly beaten just because of their race.
