Answer
Brief Explanations:
The Chinese - Exclusion Act of 1882 was the first significant law restricting immigration in the United States. It suspended Chinese immigration for ten years. Nativist groups supported it, not opposed it. It was passed, not just debated in the House without passing, and it didn't limit Chinese immigration to 5000 a year.
