D. To protect American workers

Explanation:

  • The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, was the first major US federal law to explicitly suspend immigration for a given nationality.
  • Under this Law, all Chinese "skilled and unskilled workers" are prohibited from entering the country. Subsequent amendments to the Act and those Chinese workers who have temporarily left the United States have been prevented from returning.
  • The enactment of this law followed years of racial intolerance and anti-immigrant agitation by white Americans, laying the legal foundation for later restrictions against immigration of other nationalities.
