Chen, Joyce J. "The Impact of Skill-Based Immigration Restrictions: The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882." Journal of Human Capital 9, no. 3 (2015): 298-328.

The paper is credible because it was published in a peer-reviewed journal. This paper supports my thesis statement in that it describes the effect of skill-based immigration restrictions, using the Chinese Exclusion Act conduct experiment. I found that the Immigration Restrictions decreased the normal professional position of Chinese immigrants, indicating a change between observed and unobserved skills. On the other hand, children of restricted immigrants have greater human investment than those of unrestricted immigrants, even though restricted immigrants themselves have lower skills. restricted immigrants themselves having lower skills. I learned that this indicates especially powerful inter-generational communication of skill as well as Chinese immigrants of the exclusion era. More commonly, the outcomes indicate that the effects of skill-based restrictions are not always simple and may be diverse across groups.

In the article, the author wrote that in the past, the problem of race in America has been presented in terms of black-and-white animosity. The paper is credible because it was published in peer review journal. Though, there is also a whole body of racist laws and court rulings against Asian immigrants. Many of these laws and judgments center all around the question of naturalization. They had the effect of defining Asian immigrants as perpetual "outsiders," as aliens unqualified for citizenship. I found that this paper concentrates on the Asian immigrant and Supreme Court naturalization rulings. This paper supported my research paper that wrote a details history of Immigrant policy in the United States. I learned the details history of Asian immigrants and Supreme Court naturalization rulings.

Ngai, M. M. "Nationalism, Immigration Control, and the Ethnoracial Remapping of America in the 1920s." OAH Magazine of History 21, no. 3 (2007): 11-15.

In the article, the author wrote about the united states immigration policy change in the 1920s. I found that the author describes in detail anti-immigrant feelings in American politics, particularly with its analysis of the development of race-based nativism in the early 20th century, which preceded Congress to pass restrictive immigration legislation in the 1920s. The paper is credible because it was published in peer review journal. The implementation of the quota structure run to a long-lasting relative decline in population growth in areas with large pre-existing immigrant populations of affected ethnic groups. This paper supports my research paper that describes many important factors about the policy change to estimate the financial impacts of immigration restrictions on the United States economy. I learned a details history of this effect was mainly driven by the policy-restricted supply of immigrants from the quota-effected ethnic group and the lower fertility of two generations of immigrant women. In more affected areas labor efficiency growth in production dropped mostly and native workers were forced into Low paying jobs.
