In 1943, the Magnuson Act repealed exclusion of Chinese immigrants and allowed for a small amount of ethnic Chinese immigration to the United States. The act helped lead to additional measures allowing for quotas of other Asian ethnic groups immigrating to the United States, and in 1965 the ending of the National Origins quota system.
