INTRODUCTION
Recent surges in the immigration of Asians to the United States in search of political liberty and economic opportunity
echo the desperate efforts of earlier times. The arrival of tens of thousands of documented and undocumented newcomers from
Asia recalls an era when Asian immigrants used every means available to pry open America’s “golden door” that
policymakers had slammed shut. Federal documents included in the records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service
(INS) from 1906 to 1913 at the National Archives permit scholars to illuminate the tug-of-war between immigrants and federal
officials assigned to bar the door to arrivals from the East.
Economic dislocation brought thousands of Chinese to the United States in the nineteenth century, over 70,000 in the
decade of the 1870s alone. By 1880, over a hundred thousand Chinese were present in the United States. Pressure from racial
nativists and those who feared competition from foreign workers, especially low-paid unskilled laborers, resulted in the
Chinese Exclusion Law of 1882 that halted the legal immigration of Chinese until after the Second World War.
The roots of Chinese exclusion were deeply buried in the soil of American racism. At first, American entrepreneurs
welcomed low-cost Chinese workers and Americans, generally, accepted their arrival. In 1852, a California journalist wrote,
“The China boys will yet vote at the same polls, study at the same schools and bow at the same altar as our own countrymen.”
However, when the 1870s depression crippled the American economy, unemployed Americans, especially on the west coast
where most Chinese had settled, blamed the newcomers. Some dubbed Chinese labor “coolie labor” because the Chinese were
willing to accept substantially lower wages than caucasian workers. However, much of the criticism was couched in purely
racial epithets. Some California nativists feared what they called racial mongrelization of the American population.
Feeling especially vulnerable to Chinese influence in their economy and society, Californians led the way in anti-Chinese
nativism. Numerous state and local laws were passed to limit Chinese economic activity. Dennis Kearney organized his
Workingmen’s party to make anti-Chinese sentiment a partisan political issue. The Workingmen succeeded in including
numerous anti-Chinese articles into a revision of the California State Constitution in 1878. However, the Chinese were not
passive. The Chinese Benevolent Association hired attorneys. Some anti-Chinese ordinances were struck down under the
Civil Rights Act of 1870, others under the Fourteenth Amendment, and still others under the 1868 Burlingame treaty. Still,
there were meetings where the assemblage chanted, “The Chinese Must Go!” Failing at the state level, nativists focused on
the national political arena.
Hoping to avoid American abrogation of the Burlingame treaty because of pressure from anti-Chinese nativists, the
Chinese government signed a new treaty on November 17, 1880. China conceded to regulation, limitation, or suspension,
although not absolute prohibition, of the immigration of Chinese laborers into the United States, provided that nonlaborers
could continue to emigrate. In exchange, the United States agreed to protect the Chinese from personal maltreatment and
abuse and to make certain they enjoyed the same rights and privileges that all nationals from most favored nations held.
With the door to federal exclusion now opened, both Democrats and Republicans rushed to outshout each other in their
anti-Chinese sentiments in the 1880 elections. When word reached China that exclusionary legislation was imminent,
emigration escalated. In 1880, 9,604 Chinese arrived; a year later, 11,890. In 1882, 39,579 crossed the national threshold.
The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 got strong bipartisan support in Congress. In final form, it prohibited the arrival of
Chinese laborers, skilled and unskilled, for ten years; made mandatory the registration and the carrying of valid passports by
all Chinese; made all Chinese ineligible for citizenship; and forbade wives of laborers already in the United States from joining
their spouses. Although teachers, students, merchants, tourists, and diplomatic personnel were “exempt classes” under the
law, U.S. immigration authorities were given broad discretionary powers to hinder, if not block, entry of those they thought
unfit for admission. The law was renewed in 1891 and 1902, and in 1904 exclusion was made permanent.
v
Exclusion, then, was a mature, carefully administered policy by the turn of the century. The INS Subject Correspondence
files offer scholars case files of Chinese seeking to smuggle themselves into the United States and the deportation of those
caught engaging in illegal activities to elude immigration restriction during the first two decades of the twentieth century. Such
files are invaluable sources of social data about individual Chinese immigrants and their lives as well as the workings of
American government as officials struggled to control the borders and stop illegal migration through Canada and Mexico.
The Chinese were not alone in suffering the stigma of racism and exclusion. The Japanese were the largest Asian group
to arrive in the United States during the nineteenth century, although many also headed for Hawaii, which was an independent
country until the end of the century. After the United States’ acquisition of Hawaii, thousands of Japanese headed for the
United States, some with sufficient capital to purchase farmland. The same fears of a “yellow peril” that sparked anti-Chinese
sentiment and exclusion now inspired nativist demands to halt additional immigrant arrivals from Japan. After President
Theodore Roosevelt’s intervention in the San Francisco controversy over the segregation of Japanese students, the Japanese
government acceded a “Gentleman’s Agreement” in 1907 by which it refused exit visas to laborers wishing to emigrate to
the United States. The Gentleman’s Agreement did allow wives to join their husbands if the latter were already in America,
which provided a loophole in the exclusion. Since the overwhelming number of Japanese in the United States in 1907 were
males, the agreement led to a surge in legal immigration of females, who were often married by “proxy” in Japan to husbands
who chose wives on the basis of pictures sent from the mother country to America. Investigations of Japanese picture brides
and other schemes to circumvent exclusion are extensively documented in the Subject Correspondence files.
Chinese and Japanese admitted prior to exclusion were entitled to visit their homelands and return to the United States.
However, fears that returning Asians might be bringing disease from afar and thereby presenting a public health danger to
American citizens stirred demands for medical inspections by Public Health Service physicians. Data on health examinations
and the interrogation of returnees provide historians with a window on the biological fears and anxieties of Americans in the
early years of the twentieth century, adding to the wealth of important and useful data that this remarkable collection offers
social historians, particularly immigration and ethnic history specialists.
The harsh treatment and eventual exclusion of the Chinese and Japanese considerably exceeds the resistance that
America posed to Euro-ethnic groups. Economic fears and endemic anti-Asian racism underlay such policies. The records
of the Immigration and Naturalization Service in this collection stunningly document one of the bleakest chapters in the
history of America’s peopling. The persistent efforts of Chinese and Japanese emigrants to elude the law is testimony to the
indomitable spirit of those in search of opportunity abroad who would let neither national boundaries nor laws obstruct their
path to a more secure future.

SCOPE
AND
CONTENT NOTE
General. The Subject Correspondence file constitutes the central file of the Commissioner General of Immigration in
Washington, D.C., for the period between 1906 and 1932. (For a description of earlier records, see the section covering the
arrangement of the file series, below.) The files document the flow of information between the Commissioner General’s
office and the various immigration posts throughout the country, especially San Francisco, New York, Seattle, and El Paso.
The incoming communications report on all facets of the administration of American immigration laws at the various stations.
Outgoing communications provide directions on applying the provisions of the law to difficult cases, making requests for
information, such as detailed statistical compilations, and probing allegations of corruption or incompetence.
The primary focus of immigration law in these files was the exclusion of Chinese immigrants, but grounds for excluding
other Asian nationalities are also a major theme in the records, including exclusion for medical reasons, on the grounds of
prostitution, criminality, political radicalism, or having made a contract in the mother country to fill a job in America (socalled alien contract labor). Files pertaining to the exclusion of political radicals were systematically withdrawn from the
Subject Correspondence by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the 1960s and have never been returned. All other classes
of exclusion are covered in the files. Along with Chinese, the files document immigration of Japanese, Koreans, and “Hindus”
and Sikhs from other regions of Asia.
Many of the files report on investigations of smuggling Chinese and Japanese laborers into the United States. Both
Canada and Mexico served as staging grounds for illegal immigration, but the record is filled with episodes of direct
smuggling through American seaports on the Pacific, Gulf, and Atlantic coasts. A key strategy for smuggling Chinese to the
East Coast was to disguise immigrants as “seamen” on ships sailing from the West Indies. This strategy was recognized by
the Immigration Service, and the results of the investigation may be found in files 52090/4–4E on Reel 7, Frames 0331–0871.
In addition to smuggling, there are extensive files on other means of evading immigration laws. Foremost among these
are episodes of corruption in the Immigration Service itself. There are several extensive internal investigations of abuse and
corruption at various immigration stations. These episodes sometimes point to complicity between immigration officials and
urban political and business interests. The earliest of the investigations into official corruption was made between 1898 and
1900 under the direction of Oscar Greenhalgh, formerly a Chicago labor union president, hired by Commissioner General
Terence Powderly (himself a former leader of the Knights of Labor). Greenhalgh studied most of the immigration stations
in the country suspected of lax administration of the Chinese exclusion laws and reported at length to the Commissioner
General in Washington on his findings. His investigations survey many of the urban Chinatowns in America and report on
smuggling networks, vice conditions, and sociological aspects of the communities. The Greenhalgh reports can be found in
file 52730/84 on Reels 19–21.
Greenhalgh’s investigation was followed in 1907 by a shorter but more wide-ranging investigation of immigration
problems by Marcus Braun. Braun studied not only evasion of the Chinese exculsion laws but also the legal influx of other
Asian nationalities, particularly across the Canadian and Mexican border posts. For reasons peculiar to the Immigration
Service’s filing scheme, materials relative to Braun’s investigation are scattered over several files. A digest of the Braun
Report along with exhibits and some correspondence can be found in files 51630/44–44D between Frames 0259 and 0412
on Reel 1. The final report itself is on Reel 12 at Frame 0406. The section of the report dealing with Japanese immigration
is in file 51931/11 on Reel 4 at Frame 0462. An extension of the report on Japanese immigration can be found in file 52704/
1 on Reel 18, Frame 0011.
By 1910, the Mexican border had become a major conduit for the smuggling of Chinese into the United States. Two
extensive reports of the problem were made by A. P. Schnell and Richard H. Taylor. These reports examine illegal entry into
all major Gulf ports, particularly New Orleans and Galveston. They can be found in files 52229/1–1L on Reel 11.
vii
Finally, a massive investigation of the administration of Chinese exclusion laws was made by dozens of immigration
inspectors under the direction of Richard H. Taylor in early 1914. This report details widespread evasion of the law and serves
as an excellent summary of Asian immigration to the United States on the eve of World War I. It can be found on the last four
reels of the edition, beginning on Frame 0597 of Reel 27.
Throughout the period covered on this microfilm, a few categories of Chinese were “exempted” from the exclusion
policy. These were visitors to the United States for temporary and legitimate purposes: businessmen (or merchants), students,
and tourists. Several files deal with the Immigration Service’s attempts to deal with the exempt classes while avoiding
inadvertently opening loopholes in the exclusion laws. One of the largest of these files covering the “Section Six” exemptions
is 52082/75–75D spanning Reel 5, Frame 0802 through Reel 6, Frame 0219.
The case of Japanese exclusion evolved slowly and crystallized around 1907, much later than the exclusion rule for
Chinese, which was passed by Congress in 1882. As Japanese immigration to the United States accelerated during the latter
part of the nineteenth century, the Immigration Service made an extensive study of the migration in 1898 and 1899. This report
can be found in file 52705/1 on Reel 18, Frame 0704.
Before 1907, the only means by which immigration officers could restrict Japanese immigrants was the tenuous policy
of classifying them as “Mongolians,” a race specifically excluded by the 1882 law along with Chinese. The key grounds for
excluding Japanese was promulgated in 1907. It was the result of a bilateral treaty rather than congressional act. The treaty,
which was personally negotiated by President Theodore Roosevelt, was known as “the Gentleman’s Agreement.” Under its
terms, the United States agreed not to include Japanese among the excludable races (ostensibly saving the Japanese
international prestige) while the government of Japan obliged by withholding visas to America for “laboring classes” of its
own nationality. This arrangement left the Immigration Service with the task of defining the occupation “laborer,” and
numerous files in the present edition document immigration officials’ efforts to define the concept of “laborer.” An extensive
run of files covering this problem can be found in files 51930/A–N starting on Reel 2, Frame 0824 and in file 51931/1
beginning on Reel 3, Frame 0735.
The biggest difference between the Gentleman’s Agreement and the Chinese Exclusion Act was that the former permitted
the immigration of Japanese wives if their husbands were already living in the United States. This resulted in a surge of female
immigration to the United States after the agreement was concluded in 1907. Many of the female immigrants were called
“picture brides” by the Immigration Service because they were married in Japan by proxy to single men in the United States
and then sent on the journey to America. An extensive file on the administration of the “picture brides” immigration can be
found in file 52424 beginning on Frame 0205 of Reel 13. The surge in female immigration allegedly led to serious problems
with organized prostitution, and several scattered files focus on this issue.
With the restriction of Japanese immigration after the Gentleman’s Agreement, the illegal smuggling of Japanese into
the United States compounded the problems the Immigration Service faced with the smuggling of Chinese. Scattered files
throughout the microfilm edition document efforts to suppress Japanese smuggling rings, mostly operating through Mexico.
Because Asian immigration was a highly charged political issue, many files document protests from interests on either
side of the divide. Pro-Asian exclusion groups such as the Asiatic Exclusion League spearheaded many of the charges of
corruption and ineptitude that the Commissioner General of Immigration subjected to investigation. Several files detail the
interaction between the restriction movement and the American labor movement. The labor movement on the West Coast
was the most active in this regard, but a few files depict restrictionist activities by eastern unions as well, notably in advocating
that Chinese “seamen” be bonded before leaving ships in New York port.
On the other side of the Asian exclusion question there were arrayed local chambers of commerce, Chinese voluntary
associations, merchants, and diplomats from Asian countries. The most influential of the Chinese voluntary associations was
the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association. Several files document the organization’s protests to the federal
government against brutality by immigration inspectors and discrimination against Chinese by civil authorities. The Chinese
Consolidated Benevolent Association was also known as the Chinese Six Companies, a name derived from the six regional
districts of Kwangtung province. Diplomatic forces are also evident in several of the files. The Chinese government regularly
protested the enforcement of the U.S. exclusion laws (see file 53059/8, Reel 24, Frame 0519, for example). The Chinese
organized boycotts against American goods in protest and also sought to take the matter of excluding Chinese to the
International Court of Arbitration at The Hague.
viii
There are several other diplomatic fronts covered in the files. One of the most extensive of these is the relationship
between the U.S. and Canadian immigration services. The United States ultimately prevailed upon the Canadians to assist
in upholding Chinese exclusion to the United States; the Americans also assisted the government of Canada in devising its
own immigration law.
Finally, a couple of files document the diplomatic background of the Gentleman’s Agreement between the United States
and Japan. See, for example, file 51908 at Frame 0763 of Reel 2, and file 51931/14B at Frame 0672 of Reel 4.
Apart from the wealth of information these files contain regarding the diplomacy and the administration of Asian
exclusion policies, there are many files that include primary materials offering the Asian perspective on the immigration
process. Each of the lengthy investigative files mentioned above includes Chinese and Japanese documents—both in the
original and in translation. Many of the smuggling files also contain enclosures and depositions that reveal the voices and
motivations of Chinese and Japanese themselves.
Arrangement. The files are ordered on the microfilm according to Immigration Service file numbers. These are roughly,
but not perfectly, chronological. The earliest dated materials in the collection—the William M. Rice investigation of Japanese
immigration in 1898–1899 and the Oscar Greenhalgh investigation of Chinese immigration during the same period—can be
found on Reels 18 through 21 of the microfilm. These early reports were brought forward into 1907 files apparently as
reference materials for the Dillingham Immigration Commission, which Congress established in 1907 to study the entire issue
of U.S. immigration policy. Because of the imperfect chronology in the Immigration Service’s numbering scheme,
researchers may need to survey the entire reel index or subject index of the user’s guide before making a survey of the
microfilm.
The National Archives holds an earlier body of the Commissioner General’s central files, which are known as Letters
Received (Early Immigration Records), 1882–1906. Because of the present physical condition of this early body of records,
it has not been possible to microfilm this material. The early series is available for research at the National Archives. Some
of the files in the present edition make reference to earlier file numbers from the earlier series. Reference numbers lower than
50627 belong in the Early Immigration Records.
Several files on Asian immigration during the 1906–1913 period were not filmed. These files are open for research at
the National Archives. The omitted cases are:
53161/2. Smuggling Chinese from Vera Cruz, Mexico to the Mississippi coast, 1911.
53161/2-A. Smuggling Chinese from Cuba, Jamaica, and Mexico to the Mississippi and Louisiana coast.

NOTE
ON
SOURCES
The documents on this microfilm were filmed at the National Archives of the United States, Washington, D.C. All
materials come from the Subject Correspondence, 1906–1932 series of Record Group 85, Immigration and Naturalization
Service.
EDITORIAL NOTE
This edition contains a selection of the most important and representative files on Asian immigration from the Subject
Correspondence series of the INS records for the years before 1914. A subsequent edition of Asian immigration records for
the period after 1914 is contemplated.
In the interest of limiting the size of the present publication, the editorial team deemed it necessary to omit a few lengthy
files covering Asian immigration prior to 1913. These files mostly cover individual smuggling cases that add to the already
large number of smuggling case files. A list of file numbers, with a summary of each case that was omitted, is appended to
the Scope and Content Note at pages ix–x.
Every file selected has been filmed in its entirety except for file 52704/2 on Reel 18. In the case of this file, “Miscellaneous
Memos Regarding Employees,” a number of important documents relating to Asian immigration were interfiled with a large
body of personnel records. Rather than film the entire file, more than 90 percent of which was unrelated to Asian immigration,
the editors selected all documents pertinent to the subject.
