What was America's first immigration law? The answer depends on what you mean. The earliest federal laws addressed citizenship, passenger records, and immigration restrictions at different points in U.S. history. From the Naturalization Act of 1790 to the Page Act of 1875 and the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, immigration law developed one statute at a time. Understanding the history of immigration law helps explain how today's system came to be. Have questions about your immigration options? Call Spar & Bernstein at 212-227-8933.
