"The Chinese have many vices and prejudices, and it is impossible for them to Americanize their lives, let alone accept the ethical and moral standards of the United States based on Christianity; Moreover, the influx of Chinese workers has created tensions with American workers for jobs, and the use of Chinese workers will lead to lower wages. —Knights of Labor.

"Today, the United States officially passed the "Law on the Implementation of the Provisions of the Chinese Treaty", which is a great step forward in American social progress, representing the preservation of traditional order and culture, and at the same time safeguarding the interests of the majority of San Francisco citizens." —San Francisco Workers' Association.

Anti-China forces in the United States have a long history, especially in California in the western region, but for the first time in American history, their political ideas were formally supported by law in May 1882.

Soon San Francisco set up a Chinese immigration processing station to repatriate Chinese immigrants, and the East African Immigration Agency soon reached an agreement with San Francisco city officials to help the United States save on repatriation costs.

Angel Island Immigration Processing Station.

It's ironic, now all the illegal Chinese in San Francisco are sent here, and the cramped environment is full of people, which is even dirtier and messier than the slums of San Francisco.

Most of the Chinese here have braided hair, which is no different from the Far Eastern Empire, their faces are hungry, their clothes are ragged, and their bodies do not look very healthy, after all, the work they do is dirty and tiring, and it is not much better than that of the Far Eastern Empire.

Even Wilson, a staff member of the Immigration Department who is accustomed to all kinds of scenes, is a little disgusted with this environment, but when he thinks of the bad work last year, and now that the opportunity has come, he has to pull down his identity to work here.

Wilson took the key as usual and opened the small house at the immigration processing station, after which the assistant brought out the table and chairs.

The front of the house was already crowded with people, and every day new people were sent here, and then they would learn of Wilson's existence by word of mouth from the old man.

Because not everyone will be willing to go to Africa, they have been in the United States for a long time, and they know some news about Africa, and there is not much interaction between the United States and East Africa, so the impression of Africa is still stuck in more than ten years ago, of course, there are still people who just want to return to the Far East, or want to escape from here and continue to be black in the United States.

Those who are reluctant to work in Africa, or who do not trust Wilson, will naturally spend a few more days at the immigration processing station.

Of course, many Chinese in the United States are black households, because the government of the Far Eastern Empire does not encourage them to go abroad, and especially immigrants from South China, which is similar to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period.

Wilson began his day's work, looked at the first person standing at the table, made sure he was able-bodied, and asked, "What do you do in America?" ”

"Dock porter."

"And where did you work before?"

"New York."

"Then why did you come to San Francisco? New York is a long way from San Francisco. ”

"Sir, lately the whole of America has been arresting people like me and sending them here."

"Do you want to work in Africa?"

"Do you care about the rice?"

"Of course, but Africa is far away, and I'm afraid the road will be very difficult."

"Then I'll go, I'm not afraid of hardship."

"You've passed!" With that, Wilson picked up a receipt and handed it to him.

There is no registration information, as long as you have this small ticket, you can board the ship to Africa, this rough selection method is very inconsistent with the habits of the East African Immigration Agency in the past.

Wilson also didn't bother to talk to them about the situation in Africa, because there were no strict requirements for recruiting immigrants in East Africa this time, and these people were sent to the royal territory of Sigmaringen.

If East Africa chooses its own immigrants, it will definitely be carefully selected, and as for other regions and countries, there are no strict requirements.

Of course, if you can meet rare talents, then East Africa will definitely intercept the flow by itself, but this kind of thing is difficult to happen, and the Chinese who come to the United States are basically at the bottom.

Hundreds of people went to Africa every day through Wilson's hands, and it happened that slave ships from East Africa to the United States brought these people back to Africa.

After all, the United States has a Chinese Exclusion Act, but there is no Exclusion Act, so with the help of East Africa, the United States will not be affected by the number of people entering and exiting.

Many of these Chinese have received the "education" of industrial society in American society, and they can better contribute to the construction of Sigmaringen Crown Territory after they go to Sigmaringen's royal territory.

"These Chinese are adventurers from the Far Eastern Empire, many of them gold diggers, or workers who have been tricked into participating in the construction of American railroads, and now we are packing them up and sending them to the royal territory of Sigmaringen to solve the population problem there." Weiss, the captain of the slave ship Delles, said to Wilson, who was off duty.

"Mr. Weiss, the treatment of the royal domain of Sigmaringen should be good, and these people will not have a way out if they stay in the United States, so it is better to try their luck in Africa, which is how I went to East Africa in the first place."

Without the East African intervention, the vast majority of these immigrants, even if they could stay, would probably have only been in the United States for a lifetime, after all, they would have been lower than the status of blacks, and they would not have any value in the American marriage market.

On the contrary, those who have already gone to East Africa may have given birth to several children, but this group of Chinese immigrants obviously did not have such luck.

It was still the Great Depression in the United States, and East Africa was already recruiting people in the United States as early as 1873, when the economic crisis broke out, and that was the last window.

In fact, the Chinese Exclusion Act is of course the result of the economic downturn in the United States, and American society also needs a punching bag, and the Chinese groups with low social status, different values, and weak strength are the best targets for bullying.

Now in Africa, without skills, East Africa will not want, including railway workers, and can only be sent to the Belgian Congo and Sigmaringen royal territories.

After all, East Africa has given them opportunities before, even before the economic crisis, and the Chinese who can run to the United States show that they are still a little bold, and East Africa does not need people with courage.

If it weren't for the draining of the potential of German immigrants, East Africa would not want to absorb German immigrants in the United States.

As for the recruitment of immigrants this time, it is mainly to fill the gap between the royal territory of Sigmaringen and the Belgian Congo, and the specific treatment depends on the conscience of the Belgians and the ruling methods of the Sigmaringen royal family.

However, it is still good to go to Africa in general, especially the royal territory of Sigmaringen, which is after all based on East Africa, so there is less possibility of discrimination against Chinese immigrants in their status.

In fact, the Chinese Exclusion Act is not an isolated case, and the East African government has similar measures against black East Africans, but Ernst wants to save face and will not be directly written into the code like the United States.

In California, where Chinese exclusion is the most serious, the California government did not support Chinese exclusion before, because the Chinese tax revenue filled the government's deficit, and later, when the government became financially rich, it no longer opposed Chinese exclusion.

This is very similar to the previous East Africa, after the development of the eastern part of East Africa, it also started the "anti-gang" campaign, and the first area to be implemented was the two provinces in the Somali region.

Everyone is good at crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, so it is impossible for East Africa to stand on the moral high ground and criticize the United States' practices, unless the United States targets East Africa, and everyone explores each other's black and exposes the truth.
