Very simply. He was not doing a good job,\" Trump said in brief remarks to reporters in the Oval Office, where he was joined by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The abrupt firing of Comey threw into question the future of the FBI's investigation and immediately raised suspicions of an underhanded effort to stymie a probe that has shadowed the administration from the outset. Trump has ridiculed the investigations as \"a hoax\" and denied any campaign involvement with the Russians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats compared Comey's ouster to President Richard Nixon's \"Saturday Night Massacre\" during the Watergate investigation and renewed calls for the appointment of a special prosecutor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ironically, Kissinger, who was meeting with Trump, was Nixon's secretary of state in 1973, having just moved over from being Nixon's national security adviser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier Wednesday, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York urged Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy, Rosenstein, to appear before the Senate to answer questions about the circumstances surrounding Trump's action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell brushed aside calls for a special prosecutor, saying a new investigation into Russian meddling would only \"impede the current work being done.\" He noted that Democrats had repeatedly criticized Comey in the past and some had called for his removal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump made a similar case on Twitter, saying Comey had \"lost the confidence of almost everyone in Washington,\" adding: \"When things calm down, they will be thanking me!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice President Mike Pence said at the Capitol that Trump had made \"the right decision at the right time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department said Sessions was interviewing candidates to serve as an interim replacement. Comey's deputy, FBI veteran Andrew McCabe, became acting director after Comey was fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his brief letter Tuesday to Comey, Trump said the firing was necessary to restore \"public trust and confidence\" in the FBI. The administration paired the letter with a scathing review by Rosenstein, the recently confirmed deputy attorney general, of how Comey handled the investigation into Clinton's email practices, including his decision to hold a news conference announcing its findings and releasing \"derogatory information\" about Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can't make this stuff up,\" Rep. Adam Schiff of California, top Democrat on the House intelligence committee, said Wednesday on MSNBC. As to Trump's contention that the firing had to do with Comey's decision-making on such matters as the Clinton emails, he said, \"Nobody believes that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, in his letter, pointedly thanked Comey for telling him three times \"that I am not under investigation.\" The FBI has not confirmed that Comey ever made those assurances to the president. In public hearings, Comey has declined to answer when asked if Trump is under investigation, urging lawmakers not to read anything into that statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Comey has drawn anger from Democrats since he reopened the email investigation in the closing days of last year's campaign, they didn't buy that justification for his firing. Several Republicans joined them in raising alarms of how it could affect probes into possible coordination between Trump associates and Russia to influence the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one of the strongest statements by Republicans, Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, said, \"I am troubled by the timing and reasoning of Director Comey's termination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His dismissal further confuses an already difficult investigation by the committee,\" Burr said.[contextly_sidebar id=\"tdRpwtjmhWeRM6H7jHyrLgu4duKaXiTl\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer told Trump in a phone call he thought dumping Comey was a mistake. On Wednesday, Trump labeled the Senate minority leader \"Cryin' Chuck Schumer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump will now appoint a successor at the FBI, which has been investigating since late July, and who will almost certainly have an impact on how the probe moves forward and whether the public will accept its outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was only the second firing of an FBI director in history. President Bill Clinton dismissed William Sessions amid allegations of ethical lapses in 1993.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona said Congress must form a special committee to investigate Russia's interference in the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey, 56, was nominated by President Barack Obama for the FBI post in 2013 to a 10-year term, though that appointment does not ensure a director will serve the full term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Praised frequently by both parties for his independence and integrity, he spent three decades in law enforcement. Before the past months' controversies, the former deputy attorney general in the George W. Bush administration was perhaps best known for a remarkable 2004 standoff with top officials over a federal domestic surveillance program. In March of that year, Comey rushed to the hospital bed of Attorney General John Ashcroft to physically stop White House officials in their bid to get his ailing boss to reauthorize a secret no-warrant wiretapping program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his prominent role in the 2016 presidential campaign raised questions about his judgment and impartiality. Though the FBI did not recommend charges against Clinton for mishandling classified information, Comey was blisteringly critical of her decision to use a personal email account and private internet server during her four years as secretary of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey strongly defended his decisions during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last week. He said he was \"mildly nauseous\" at the thought of having swayed the election, but also said he would do the same again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton has partially blamed her loss on Comey's disclosure to Congress less than two weeks before Election Day that the email investigation would be revisited. Comey later said the FBI, again, had found no reason to bring any charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AP writers Darlene Superville, Ken Thomas, Vivian Salama, Catherine Lucey and Sadie Gurman in Washington and Michael Balsamo in Los Angeles contributed to this report.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Very simply. He was not doing a good job,\" Trump said in brief remarks to reporters in the Oval Office, where he was joined by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The abrupt firing of Comey threw into question the future of the FBI's investigation and immediately raised suspicions of an underhanded effort to stymie a probe that has shadowed the administration from the outset. Trump has ridiculed the investigations as \"a hoax\" and denied any campaign involvement with the Russians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats compared Comey's ouster to President Richard Nixon's \"Saturday Night Massacre\" during the Watergate investigation and renewed calls for the appointment of a special prosecutor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ironically, Kissinger, who was meeting with Trump, was Nixon's secretary of state in 1973, having just moved over from being Nixon's national security adviser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier Wednesday, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York urged Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy, Rosenstein, to appear before the Senate to answer questions about the circumstances surrounding Trump's action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell brushed aside calls for a special prosecutor, saying a new investigation into Russian meddling would only \"impede the current work being done.\" He noted that Democrats had repeatedly criticized Comey in the past and some had called for his removal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump made a similar case on Twitter, saying Comey had \"lost the confidence of almost everyone in Washington,\" adding: \"When things calm down, they will be thanking me!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice President Mike Pence said at the Capitol that Trump had made \"the right decision at the right time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department said Sessions was interviewing candidates to serve as an interim replacement. Comey's deputy, FBI veteran Andrew McCabe, became acting director after Comey was fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his brief letter Tuesday to Comey, Trump said the firing was necessary to restore \"public trust and confidence\" in the FBI. The administration paired the letter with a scathing review by Rosenstein, the recently confirmed deputy attorney general, of how Comey handled the investigation into Clinton's email practices, including his decision to hold a news conference announcing its findings and releasing \"derogatory information\" about Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can't make this stuff up,\" Rep. Adam Schiff of California, top Democrat on the House intelligence committee, said Wednesday on MSNBC. As to Trump's contention that the firing had to do with Comey's decision-making on such matters as the Clinton emails, he said, \"Nobody believes that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, in his letter, pointedly thanked Comey for telling him three times \"that I am not under investigation.\" The FBI has not confirmed that Comey ever made those assurances to the president. In public hearings, Comey has declined to answer when asked if Trump is under investigation, urging lawmakers not to read anything into that statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Comey has drawn anger from Democrats since he reopened the email investigation in the closing days of last year's campaign, they didn't buy that justification for his firing. Several Republicans joined them in raising alarms of how it could affect probes into possible coordination between Trump associates and Russia to influence the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one of the strongest statements by Republicans, Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, said, \"I am troubled by the timing and reasoning of Director Comey's termination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His dismissal further confuses an already difficult investigation by the committee,\" Burr said.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer told Trump in a phone call he thought dumping Comey was a mistake. On Wednesday, Trump labeled the Senate minority leader \"Cryin' Chuck Schumer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump will now appoint a successor at the FBI, which has been investigating since late July, and who will almost certainly have an impact on how the probe moves forward and whether the public will accept its outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was only the second firing of an FBI director in history. President Bill Clinton dismissed William Sessions amid allegations of ethical lapses in 1993.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona said Congress must form a special committee to investigate Russia's interference in the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey, 56, was nominated by President Barack Obama for the FBI post in 2013 to a 10-year term, though that appointment does not ensure a director will serve the full term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Praised frequently by both parties for his independence and integrity, he spent three decades in law enforcement. Before the past months' controversies, the former deputy attorney general in the George W. Bush administration was perhaps best known for a remarkable 2004 standoff with top officials over a federal domestic surveillance program. In March of that year, Comey rushed to the hospital bed of Attorney General John Ashcroft to physically stop White House officials in their bid to get his ailing boss to reauthorize a secret no-warrant wiretapping program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his prominent role in the 2016 presidential campaign raised questions about his judgment and impartiality. Though the FBI did not recommend charges against Clinton for mishandling classified information, Comey was blisteringly critical of her decision to use a personal email account and private internet server during her four years as secretary of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey strongly defended his decisions during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last week. He said he was \"mildly nauseous\" at the thought of having swayed the election, but also said he would do the same again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton has partially blamed her loss on Comey's disclosure to Congress less than two weeks before Election Day that the email investigation would be revisited. Comey later said the FBI, again, had found no reason to bring any charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The discovery of those emails while Weiner was being investigated for possible lewd contact with a minor online is what triggered the re-opening of the Clinton investigation just before Election Day. However, after \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/comeys-testimony-on-huma-abedin-forwarding-emails-was-inaccurate\">ProPublica\u003c/a> reported Comey's testimony had been inaccurate, and that there had only been a \"small number\" of emails forwarded, Comey had to clarify those comments in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2017-05-09%20FBI%20to%20CEG%20-%20Comey%20Testimony%20Supplement.pdf\">letter\u003c/a> to the Senate Judiciary Committee released Tuesday nearly the same time news of his firing began to break in the media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/20/520765159/watch-live-house-hearing-on-russian-attempts-to-interfere-in-u-s-election\">confirmed\u003c/a> earlier this year that the FBI was investigating possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian attempts to influence the U.S. presidential election. The president has repeatedly downplayed any investigation, dismissing it as a \"total hoax.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his letter to Comey relieving him of his duties effective immediately, Trump alluded to the ongoing Russia investigation but also stressed that he had not personally been implicated:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"While I greatly appreciate you informing me. on three separate occasions. that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But the ongoing Russia investigation badly complicates Trump's decision to fire Comey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sessions, who recommended Comey's dismissal, had already \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/02/518198749/attorney-general-sessions-to-recuse-himself-from-any-trump-campaign-investigatio\">recused himself\u003c/a> from any investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, leaving any inquiry to be led by Rosenstein. The decision by Sessions, who was a top Trump surrogate, came in March after he first testified he had no contact with Russian officials during the campaign but then later clarified that he did twice meet with Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Given that the Attorney General supposedly recused himself from the Russia investigation, he should not have played any role in removing the lead investigator from his duties,\" Sen.

Why did it happen today?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein does not appoint an independent special prosecutor, every American will rightly suspect that the decision to fire Director Comey was part of a cover-up,\" Schumer continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>FBI Director became a flashpoint in 2016 election\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Comey first made waves in July 2016 when he announced that the FBI was \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/07/05/484785586/fbi-recommends-no-charges-for-hillary-clinton-in-email-server-case\">not recommending any charges\u003c/a> against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton over her handling of her controversial private server while she was secretary of state during the Obama administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even though there would be no prosecution, Comey's press conference in and of itself was damning, as he declared that Clinton and her staff had been \"extremely careless\" in handling classified data — fodder that Trump and Republicans would use throughout the campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rosenstein, Trump's deputy attorney general, said in his memorandum to Attorney General Jeff Sessions that those actions were in part what motivated his dismissal:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"The Director was wrong to usurp the Attorney General's authority on July 5, 2016, and announce his conclusion that the case should be closed without prosecution. It is not the function of the Director to make such an announcement. At most, the Director should have said the FBI had completed its investigation and presented its findings to federal prosecutors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>On Twitter last week, Trump \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/859601184285491201\">claimed\u003c/a> that Comey \"was the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey again found himself at the center of a political firestorm when less than two weeks before Election Day last year he notified Congress he was re-opening the investigation into Clinton's emails. Clinton \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/02/526586505/clinton-blames-2016-loss-on-comey-letter-russian-interference-and-herself\">said last week\u003c/a> she believed that controversial decision contributed to her loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the campaign, Trump \u003ca href=\"http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/332641-flashback-trump-praised-comey-in-october\">said\u003c/a> that Comey's decision to re-open the Clinton investigation \"took a lot of guts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It makes me mildly nauseous to think that we might have had some impact on the election,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/03/526720922/fbi-director-comey-testifies-before-senate-judiciary-committee\">Comey testified\u003c/a> before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week in defending his decision. \"But honestly, it wouldn't change the decision.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that same testimony, Comey said that Clinton aide Huma Abedin had forwarded \"hundreds and thousands\" of Clinton's emails, \"some of which contained classified information\" to her then-husband, former Rep. Anthony Weiner, to print out. The discovery of those emails while Weiner was being investigated for possible lewd contact with a minor online is what triggered the re-opening of the Clinton investigation just before Election Day. However, after \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/comeys-testimony-on-huma-abedin-forwarding-emails-was-inaccurate\">ProPublica\u003c/a> reported Comey's testimony had been inaccurate, and that there had only been a \"small number\" of emails forwarded, Comey had to clarify those comments in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2017-05-09%20FBI%20to%20CEG%20-%20Comey%20Testimony%20Supplement.pdf\">letter\u003c/a> to the Senate Judiciary Committee released Tuesday nearly the same time news of his firing began to break in the media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/20/520765159/watch-live-house-hearing-on-russian-attempts-to-interfere-in-u-s-election\">confirmed\u003c/a> earlier this year that the FBI was investigating possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian attempts to influence the U.S. presidential election. The president has repeatedly downplayed any investigation, dismissing it as a \"total hoax.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his letter to Comey relieving him of his duties effective immediately, Trump alluded to the ongoing Russia investigation but also stressed that he had not personally been implicated:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"While I greatly appreciate you informing me. on three separate occasions. that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But the ongoing Russia investigation badly complicates Trump's decision to fire Comey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sessions, who recommended Comey's dismissal, had already \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/02/518198749/attorney-general-sessions-to-recuse-himself-from-any-trump-campaign-investigatio\">recused himself\u003c/a> from any investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, leaving any inquiry to be led by Rosenstein. The decision by Sessions, who was a top Trump surrogate, came in March after he first testified he had no contact with Russian officials during the campaign but then later clarified that he did twice meet with Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Given that the Attorney General supposedly recused himself from the Russia investigation, he should not have played any role in removing the lead investigator from his duties,\" Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., a senior Judiciary Committee member, said in a statement. \"Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein now has no choice but to appoint a Special Counsel. His integrity, and the integrity of the entire Justice Department, are at stake.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Republicans raise concerns over firing \u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It wasn't just Democrats who were questioning the rapid turn of events. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr said in a statement that he was \"troubled by the timing and reasoning of Director Comey's termination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Director Comey has been more forthcoming with information than any FBI Director I can recall in my tenure on the congressional intelligence committees,\" the North Carolina Republican said. \"His dismissal, I believe, is a loss for the Bureau and the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., who's been critical of Trump in the past, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/862089192603607041\">tweeted\u003c/a> that he and his staff were \"reviewing legislation to establish an independent commission on Russia,\" calling Trump's comments in his letter to Comey underscoring that he himself wasn't under investigation \"bizarre.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey was just four years into a ten-year term after being nominated by President Obama in 2013. His pick drew bipartisan praise and he was \u003ca href=\"http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/314179-senate-votes-93-1-to-confirm-obamas-nominee-to-lead-the-fbi\">confirmed\u003c/a> by the Senate overwhelmingly by a vote of 93-1. A former Republican, Comey served as the deputy attorney general for nearly two years under President George W. Bush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey has repeatedly reiterated he planned to remain at the FBI, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/08/519235979/youre-stuck-with-me-fbi-director-says-citing-no-plans-to-leave-job\">saying in March\u003c/a>, \"You're stuck with me for about 6 1/2 years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump does have the authority to fire the FBI director, even without a reason, as \u003ca href=\"http://www.newsweek.com/can-president-fire-fbi-director-trump-comey-594716\">Newsweek\u003c/a> noted just last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The law limited Chinese immigration and barred them from becoming naturalized U.S. citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts point to the parallels between the political climate of the exclusion era and today: a close and contentious presidential election that stirred anti-immigrant sentiment; the growing economic anxiety of white Americans; and policies that would drastically shape the country's immigration laws.[contextly_sidebar id=\"OQUWLBNfz2Ep1Tb8RCOvCjs7om10ta5P\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, a group of Asian-American activists are organizing a rally in San Francisco to acknowledge the anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act and to \"learn from our past and prevent it from repeating,\" according to Cynthia Choi, who works with Chinese For Affirmative Action, one of the groups organizing the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is important for the Chinese-American and broader Asian-American community, to stand up against the new targets to this new form of exclusion, for us to say it was wrong 135 years ago and it's wrong today,\" Choi said. \"We're in a unique period where ... accurate information is not as easily attained, so there are a number of people who are on the fence, who are confused about the policies, who — more dangerously — feel as though this doesn't affect them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Then And Now: Race And Class\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Beginning in 1882, the United States stopped being a nation of immigrants that welcomed foreigners without restrictions, borders or gates. Instead, it became a ... gatekeeping nation,\" Erika Lee, a professor at the University of Minnesota, wrote in her book \u003ca href=\"https://muse.jhu.edu/article/180457\">\u003cem>At America's Gates: Chinese Immigration During The Exclusion Era, 1882-1943\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. \"In the process, the very definition of what it meant to be an 'American' became even more exclusionary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chinese exclusion law was the very first time in American history that immigrants were barred because of their race and class. In 1882, when Congress passed the law, there were 39,600 men and women from China who arrived in the U.S. Just three years later, there were only 22, according to early records that Lee came across in her research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 1876 presidential race between Rutherford Hayes and Samuel Tilden was a major turning point in the country's stance on immigration. Leading up to the election, the race was so close and electoral votes were so coveted, it brought California's ongoing fight to push out Chinese immigrants to the national stage, Lee said. Many Californians worried that Chinese laborers would take their jobs, and that they were sexually lecherous threats to society.[contextly_sidebar id=\"hyKCyWOTBmuma3vComRqYDKa03FprCZc\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee said that anti-immigrant measures in the 1880s — and today — were driven by both working-class people and elites, as well as those who had a \"vested economic interest in border walls and detention centers.\" The Chinese Exclusion Act set the groundwork for immigrant detention centers and the country's first large-scale deportation of a single immigrant group. Specifically, the exclusion era brought an expansion of the federal government in terms of hiring more immigrant inspectors, whose responsibilities included working as interpreters and at the detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for today's parallel? Lee points to \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-border-wall-20170323-story.html\">companies that are vying to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall\u003c/a>, and the question of whether there will be \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/04/508048666/will-the-private-prison-business-see-a-trump-bump\">more privately owned immigrant detention centers\u003c/a> under President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee says that today's equivalent is the proposed \"Muslim ban,\" because it singles out specific groups of people for discrimination. \"The fact that we don't explicitly name Muslims [in the executive order] is more of a reflection of how our racial sensibilities have changed over the past 135 years, in terms of being more polite in our racism.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, Lee says, like the proposed ban — which Trump says will be in place until vetting procedures are strengthened — the Chinese Exclusion Act was also originally proposed as a temporary law. The exclusion act was meant to be law for a decade but lasted 61 years. It was repealed in 1943 with the Magnuson Act, when the U.S. wanted to foster an alliance with China in the war against Japan. In 2012, Congress \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?c3342595/apologizing-chinese-exclusion-act-1882\">passed a resolution formally expressing regret\u003c/a> to Chinese-Americans for the exclusion law and other discriminatory measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while there are many links between the exclusion era and today, there are also important differences. Trump's immigration orders have created \"one of the most divisive eras around immigration\" in history, Lee told NPR. And his policies have had wide-reaching consequences for immigrants that have been met with protests across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I cannot think of another time or a set of laws that has the promise to transform immigration so dramatically at every level,\" Lee said. Trump's policies have included banning refugees, increasing border security and interior enforcement, expanding deportation and expedited removal, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/18/us/politics/executive-order-hire-buy-american-h1b-visa-trump.html\">reforming the H1-B visa program\u003c/a> and attempting to enact a travel ban. Still, Lee said, what's different is the nationwide grass-roots efforts and legal challenges that have sprung up against Trump's immigration policies. \"There were no protests in support of Chinese immigrants [during the exclusion era in the U.S.],\" Lee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's unclear if some immigrants today draw a link between the historical exclusions and Trump's various immigration restrictions, according to Janelle Wong, the director of the Asian-American studies program at the University of Maryland, College Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"On the one hand, more than 60 percent of Asian-American registered voters oppose a 'Muslim Ban.' This is pretty consistent across groups,\" Wong wrote in an email, citing her work on the \u003ca href=\"http://naasurvey.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/NAAS16-Fall-Oct5-slides.pdf\">National Asian American Survey\u003c/a>. \"On the other hand, the survey also shows that about 20 percent of Chinese Americans, and Asian-American registered voters as a whole, support such a ban. This, despite the fact that Chinese were the first in U.S. history to be excluded according to these kinds of ascriptive characteristics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choi, the rally organizer, said she feels that while the Chinese-Americans who support the ban are a minority, \"they're a vocal one.\" Choi said that many of the rally's speeches will be translated into Cantonese and Mandarin, which she hopes will draw in people who might speak only Chinese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1885, a student named Saum Song Bo wrote a scathing open letter in a New York newspaper. He was struck by the irony that the U.S. was erecting the Statue Of Liberty three years after passing the Chinese Exclusion Act:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"That statue represents Liberty holding a torch which lights the passage of those of all nations who come into this country.

The image reflects the widespread anti-Chinese and anti-immigrant sentiment of the time, and was used to drum up support for the passage of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=true&doc=47\">Chinese Exclusion Act\u003c/a>, which turns 135 on Saturday.

Instead, it became a ... gatekeeping nation,\" Erika Lee, a professor at the University of Minnesota, wrote in her book \u003ca href=\"https://muse.jhu.edu/article/180457\">\u003cem>At America's Gates: Chinese Immigration During The Exclusion Era, 1882-1943\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. \"In the process, the very definition of what it meant to be an 'American' became even more exclusionary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chinese exclusion law was the very first time in American history that immigrants were barred because of their race and class. In 1882, when Congress passed the law, there were 39,600 men and women from China who arrived in the U.S. Just three years later, there were only 22, according to early records that Lee came across in her research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 1876 presidential race between Rutherford Hayes and Samuel Tilden was a major turning point in the country's stance on immigration. Leading up to the election, the race was so close and electoral votes were so coveted, it brought California's ongoing fight to push out Chinese immigrants to the national stage, Lee said. Many Californians worried that Chinese laborers would take their jobs, and that they were sexually lecherous threats to society.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee said that anti-immigrant measures in the 1880s — and today — were driven by both working-class people and elites, as well as those who had a \"vested economic interest in border walls and detention centers.\" The Chinese Exclusion Act set the groundwork for immigrant detention centers and the country's first large-scale deportation of a single immigrant group. Specifically, the exclusion era brought an expansion of the federal government in terms of hiring more immigrant inspectors, whose responsibilities included working as interpreters and at the detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for today's parallel? Lee points to \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-border-wall-20170323-story.html\">companies that are vying to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall\u003c/a>, and the question of whether there will be \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/04/508048666/will-the-private-prison-business-see-a-trump-bump\">more privately owned immigrant detention centers\u003c/a> under President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee says that today's equivalent is the proposed \"Muslim ban,\" because it singles out specific groups of people for discrimination. \"The fact that we don't explicitly name Muslims [in the executive order] is more of a reflection of how our racial sensibilities have changed over the past 135 years, in terms of being more polite in our racism.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, Lee says, like the proposed ban — which Trump says will be in place until vetting procedures are strengthened — the Chinese Exclusion Act was also originally proposed as a temporary law. The exclusion act was meant to be law for a decade but lasted 61 years. It was repealed in 1943 with the Magnuson Act, when the U.S. wanted to foster an alliance with China in the war against Japan. In 2012, Congress \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?c3342595/apologizing-chinese-exclusion-act-1882\">passed a resolution formally expressing regret\u003c/a> to Chinese-Americans for the exclusion law and other discriminatory measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while there are many links between the exclusion era and today, there are also important differences. Trump's immigration orders have created \"one of the most divisive eras around immigration\" in history, Lee told NPR. And his policies have had wide-reaching consequences for immigrants that have been met with protests across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I cannot think of another time or a set of laws that has the promise to transform immigration so dramatically at every level,\" Lee said. Trump's policies have included banning refugees, increasing border security and interior enforcement, expanding deportation and expedited removal, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/18/us/politics/executive-order-hire-buy-american-h1b-visa-trump.html\">reforming the H1-B visa program\u003c/a> and attempting to enact a travel ban. Still, Lee said, what's different is the nationwide grass-roots efforts and legal challenges that have sprung up against Trump's immigration policies. \"There were no protests in support of Chinese immigrants [during the exclusion era in the U.S.],\" Lee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's unclear if some immigrants today draw a link between the historical exclusions and Trump's various immigration restrictions, according to Janelle Wong, the director of the Asian-American studies program at the University of Maryland, College Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"On the one hand, more than 60 percent of Asian-American registered voters oppose a 'Muslim Ban.' This is pretty consistent across groups,\" Wong wrote in an email, citing her work on the \u003ca href=\"http://naasurvey.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/NAAS16-Fall-Oct5-slides.pdf\">National Asian American Survey\u003c/a>. \"On the other hand, the survey also shows that about 20 percent of Chinese Americans, and Asian-American registered voters as a whole, support such a ban. This, despite the fact that Chinese were the first in U.S. history to be excluded according to these kinds of ascriptive characteristics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choi, the rally organizer, said she feels that while the Chinese-Americans who support the ban are a minority, \"they're a vocal one.\" Choi said that many of the rally's speeches will be translated into Cantonese and Mandarin, which she hopes will draw in people who might speak only Chinese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1885, a student named Saum Song Bo wrote a scathing open letter in a New York newspaper. He was struck by the irony that the U.S. was erecting the Statue Of Liberty three years after passing the Chinese Exclusion Act:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"That statue represents Liberty holding a torch which lights the passage of those of all nations who come into this country. But are the Chinese allowed to come? As for the Chinese who are here, are they allowed to enjoy liberty as men of all other nationalities enjoy it? Are they allowed to go about everywhere free from the insults, abuse, assaults, wrongs and injuries from which men of other nationalities are free?\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They also must comply with environmental laws and show where their water and power will come from.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Packaging must protect from contamination, be tamper evident and cannot imitate packaging used for kids.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Indoor grows must get 42 percent of their energy from renewable sources.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Cannabis dispensaries have to have video surveillance, may only be open between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. and can sell only 8 eight ounces per day to a medical patient. They cannot give out free samples.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>All plants and products will be tracked from seed to sale; products must be tested by a third-party licensed laboratory.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The regulations aren't the only action the state is taking to implement marijuana law. Gov. Jerry Brown rolled out \u003ca href=\"http://www.dof.ca.gov/budget/Trailer_Bill_Language/documents/200CannabisRegulationDraft.pdf\">proposed legislation\u003c/a> recently that aims to bring a package of laws governing medical cannabis passed by the Legislature in 2015 in line with Proposition 64, which legalized recreational marijuana use for adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Brown's legislation, for example, marijuana cultivators, manufacturers and retailers could also distribute their product. That would reverse a rule set out in the 2015 legislation that required third-party distributors -- something \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article139743428.html\">the powerful Teamsters union had fought for\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"c7lwOMCoNaROz2PRPstZF33AHLMK8G0H\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor is also seeking to clarify conflicting laws around permitting by cities, counties and the state. The 2015 legislation required cannabis businesses to secure local licenses before they could apply for a state license; but not all local governments have set up a permitting system. So Brown wants to allow businesses to apply for state licenses if they can show they are complying with local law and environmental laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-sac-medical-recreational-pot-rules-rift-20170414-story.html\">legislators, law enforcement groups and unions are unhappy\u003c/a> with some details of the proposals, California's large cannabis industry has reacted warmly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those praising the Brown administration is Avis Bulbulyan, CEO of Siva Enterprises, a cannabis consulting and business management firm. Bulbulyan chairs the Los Angeles Cannabis Task Force and has and helped dozens of cannabis businesses navigate the application process in other states as well as California. He also consults with cities and counties to help them develop local regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The state has been very proactive in the way they are going about this,\" Bulbulyan said. \"They are going out of their way to understand what the industry is about ... they're doing a phenomenal job.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public now has 45 days to comment on the regulations.

They also must comply with environmental laws and show where their water and power will come from.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Packaging must protect from contamination, be tamper evident and cannot imitate packaging used for kids.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Indoor grows must get 42 percent of their energy from renewable sources.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Cannabis dispensaries have to have video surveillance, may only be open between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. and can sell only 8 eight ounces per day to a medical patient. They cannot give out free samples.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>All plants and products will be tracked from seed to sale; products must be tested by a third-party licensed laboratory.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The regulations aren't the only action the state is taking to implement marijuana law. Gov. Jerry Brown rolled out \u003ca href=\"http://www.dof.ca.gov/budget/Trailer_Bill_Language/documents/200CannabisRegulationDraft.pdf\">proposed legislation\u003c/a> recently that aims to bring a package of laws governing medical cannabis passed by the Legislature in 2015 in line with Proposition 64, which legalized recreational marijuana use for adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Brown's legislation, for example, marijuana cultivators, manufacturers and retailers could also distribute their product. That would reverse a rule set out in the 2015 legislation that required third-party distributors -- something \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article139743428.html\">the powerful Teamsters union had fought for\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor is also seeking to clarify conflicting laws around permitting by cities, counties and the state. The 2015 legislation required cannabis businesses to secure local licenses before they could apply for a state license; but not all local governments have set up a permitting system. So Brown wants to allow businesses to apply for state licenses if they can show they are complying with local law and environmental laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-sac-medical-recreational-pot-rules-rift-20170414-story.html\">legislators, law enforcement groups and unions are unhappy\u003c/a> with some details of the proposals, California's large cannabis industry has reacted warmly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those praising the Brown administration is Avis Bulbulyan, CEO of Siva Enterprises, a cannabis consulting and business management firm. Bulbulyan chairs the Los Angeles Cannabis Task Force and has and helped dozens of cannabis businesses navigate the application process in other states as well as California. He also consults with cities and counties to help them develop local regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The state has been very proactive in the way they are going about this,\" Bulbulyan said. \"They are going out of their way to understand what the industry is about ... they're doing a phenomenal job.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public now has 45 days to comment on the regulations. For more information, \u003ca href=\"http://bmcr.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">visit the state Bureau of Medical Cannabis Regulation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
