Magnuson Act

The Magnuson Act, officially the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, was a U.S. law that ended the official Chinese Exclusion Act, allowing Chinese immigrants to become citizens again. While it limited overall immigration quotas, it marked a shift towards a more inclusive approach by removing the previous ban on Chinese nationals. The law also established a structured system for issuing visas and managing immigration, laying groundwork for future reforms. Overall, it signified a move toward more equitable treatment of immigrants, particularly Chinese Americans, within the framework of U.S. immigration policy.
