Despite the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the Chinese population in the United States continued to increase. After the Chinese population reached its peak in 1890 with 107,488 people, their population began a steady decline. These descending numbers reflect not only the severing effect of the legislation on the influx of Chinese immigrants, but of the many returning back to China due to the disparity in the male-to-female ratio (which was 27 to 1 in 1890) and their desire to take back monetary support for their families in China. In actuality, many of the Chinese immigrants who migrated to the United States initially had no intention of permanent residency in this country. | Despite the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the Chinese population in the United States continued to increase.

As decades passed, the situation of the Chinese in America improved. Such events as the Chinatowns being able to turn from crime and drug ridden slums to quiet, colorful tourist attractions; well-behaved and conscientious Chinese school children begin welcomed by public school teachers; and China becoming allies with the United States during World War II, all paved the way for the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act. As immigration from China resumed, mostly female immigrants came, many who were wives of Chinese men already in America. Many couples were reunited after decades apart.<br> | As decades passed, the situation of the Chinese in America improved.
