Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Berkeley, 1989.

This dissertation explores the social and legal history of restrictive immigration policies and their enforcement in the United States between 1891 and 1924. The main focus is the immigration through the port of San Francisco. While historians have given ample attention to the campaign to enact a restrictive immigration policy, they have not given similar consideration to how the laws were actually enforced, thus overlooking a crucial and fascinating story in the history of restrictionism and the rise of the administrative state.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation explores the social and legal history of restrictive immigration policies and their enforcement in the United States between 1891 and 1924. The main focus is the immigration through the port of San Francisco. While historians have given ample attention to the campaign to enact a restrictive immigration policy, they have not given similar consideration to how the laws were actually enforced, thus overlooking a crucial and fascinating story in the history of restrictionism and the rise of the administrative state.
520 $a In this dissertation, I analyze the dispute in San Francisco among immigrants (primarily Chinese), the federal courts, the administrative agency, and the general public over how the laws were to be construed and applied. Arguments over implementation did not simply concern legal questions but also addressed the social and economic goals of American immigration policy, as well as more general themes such as the proper role of government, the structure of power in American society, and the place of individual rights in the nascent administrative state.
520 $a Contrary to the traditional wisdom, which portrays both courts and aliens as passive players in immigration history, Chinese immigrants repeatedly turned to the federal district court at San Francisco to challenge the enforcement of the Chinese exclusion and general immigration laws. Though the judges supported Chinese exclusion, they felt obligated to handle the Chinese complaints according to standard judicial procedures and, consequently, often found in favor of the Chinese. The Chinese victories in the West had national ramifications as federal policymakers responded by taking jurisdiction away from the courts and by placing the regulation of immigration under the sole control of the Bureau of Immigration by 1905. Immigrants after 1905 challenged the agency's decisions on due process grounds, forcing the court to decide the novel question of what rights persons had in the new administrative state.
520 $a The study shows that the type of forum involved--whether it be a court or agency--affected the manner in which policies were enforced. Whereas Progressive histories have applauded the shift from judicial to administrative control over public policy, I suggest some of the negative repercussions of the triumph of bureaucracy.
