Served the remainder of Garfield's term. Sought a full term, but was not re-nominated. The Arthur Administration enacted the first general Federal immigration law. Arthur approved a measure in 1882 excluding paupers, criminals, and the mentally ill. Congress also suspended Chinese immigration for ten years with the Chinese Exclusion Act, later making the restriction permanent.
继Garfield，Arthur担任了美国总统。他希望能完成任期，但是没有再被提名。亚瑟政府颁布了第一部移民法典。Arthur在1882年通过了排斥移民、罪犯和精神有问题的人的措施。国会也通过《排华法案》禁止中国移民长达10年，而后，该限制改成了永久制。
