while also maintaining exclusion of the process to naturalized Chinese Americans and other groups

Step-by-step explanation:

The Naturalization Act of 1870 (16 Stat. 254) was a United States federal law that created a system of controls for the naturalization process and penalties for fraudulent practices.
