According to the textbook, during the history time, we knew since the Gold Rush in New Mexico and California. In 1854, almost forty-five thousand of chinese people arrived in California because they dreamed of being rich by the Gold Rush. But whites expecially white miners that they said this is their land so the gold should belong to whites, and they segreated world of chinese people who immigranted in U.S. In1852 the state legislature pass the law that put a heavy tax on the Chinese in order to prompt many to turn from mining to faming, fishing, and operating restaurants. However, many chinese people have immigrated to the United States expecially California. Many chinese because of Taiping Rebellion, they immigrataned to U.S, when U.S had the Gold Rush. But during the time, many U.S people realized that chinese people will get more gold, that's bad for U.S people, so they began dislike chinese people. Then, chinese people always hard work and companies can just pay low wages for chinese labor, thus many americans lost jobs, also, because of that and centered on race and ethnicity. According to Burlingame Treaty, anti-Chinese sentiment among American workers saored, and made/enated law called " Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882", this law is to bar Chinese immigrantion to the U.S. The famous events is in the East America, because of ethnic, racial diversity, and economic competition problems between the chinese and whites, they caused the West led to tesion and conflict that exploded into raw violence totally toward to chinese immigrants. One attack is in 1885 at Rock Springs, it made twenty-eight chinese miners dead, and just two years later, white labors send at least thiry-four Chinese miners in Hells Canyon, Oregon. On the other hand, in history, many countries realized that china is a big market, like once, Europe and Japan colonized many Asian lands. Many countries wanted to control the chinese market including America, it called " the Open Door in China". In short, immigrants are the main bridge to contact the countries.
In my opinion, first, as a chinese, I really interested in how's chinese's lives in U.S and want to know what happended in history about chinese and americans. However, Chinese people come to U.S, not only brought the bad things but also they brought the good things for U.S like improving U.S economy. Also, it can improve the relationship between the counries. We can know different curlture from different countries.

"Each year, thousands of Chinese immigrants reach the U.S. hoping to fulfill dreams of freedom and wealth. But often, they find faith in God is far more valuable."
In the morden time, also every years many new chinese immigrants move into the U.S like NY city, and they choose their religions from U.S and learn the U.S religions. They also hope to achieve their dreams of freedom and get wealth lives in the U.S. However, America is the richest country in the world, thus, not only chinese people move to U.S every year, but also other countries people.
