Quote #4
That before any Chinese passengers are landed from any such line vessel, the collector, or his deputy, shall proceed to examine such passenger, comparing the certificate with the list and with the passengers. (Sec.9)
Again, these are customs people matching every Chinese person to their records before they even get off the ship. This would have been a nightmare before computers, and yet they did it, because the Chinese were such a small minority.
Quote #5
That hereafter no State court or court of the United States shall admit Chinese to citizenship. (Sec.14)
This is the final nail in the coffin of Chinese majority. If Chinese people were not allowed to become citizens, there would be no way to fight laws like this. Remember, the equal protections clause of the 14th Amendment only applies to citizens. In this way, a minority group would remain a minority group, and be oppressed, for the foreseeable future.
