In the year 1882, the U.S senate passed the Chinese Exclusion act and was signed by President Chester A. Arthur. During the time period, there was many immigrants, especially Chinese, that immigrated to the United States, which caused a lot of labor. Congress decided to pass this law because a lot of Chinese people were illegally immigrating to the United States and taking away the jobs that the American Citizens wanted. The Act caused the Chinese to be ineligible for naturalization, meaning that they can't become a citizen. Because of the act, the Chinese population in the U.S during that time declined tremendously.

harkovskaia [24]

Trade arrangements, Trade protectionism, and the lower value of the currency are the defined ways to regulate the imports and exports of a country.

<h3>What are imports and exports?</h3>

Import arises when a country brings in the goods from the outside countries whereas when a country provides goods to other countries, then it is treated as exports.

Trade protectionism is a situation where the country is provided with benefits in the form of tariffs that increase the import prices and utilizes the subsidies. Trade arrangements occur where the export prices are rising by making reductions in trade protectionism. The lowering of currency values can be applied by making the rates of interest to be lower.

For instance, the government reduces taxes on some industries in order to raise production in those specified areas.

Therefore, the imports and exports can be regulated by making the currency value lower and by applying trade protectionism and trade arrangements.
