With the onset of hard economic times in the 1870s, other immigrants and European Americans began to compete for the jobs traditionally reserved for the Chinese. With economic competition came dislike and even racial suspicion and hatred. Such feelings were accompanied by anti-Chinese riots and pressure, especially in California, for the exclusion of Chinese immigrants from the United States. The result of this pressure was the Chinese Exclusion Act, passed by Congress in 1882. This Act virtually ended Chinese immigration for nearly a century. \n\nthese Chinese for the most part were not on planning on staying and they were sending their paychecks home to china \n\n\nand the mexicans send a lot of money back to mexico for the most part i believe most want to stay here permanently even some that have wives and family back in mexico , but i am sure that was in the thoughts of the Chinese in the start to go back home but it eventually boiled into a real problem hey wait kinda sounds familiar ummmmmmmmmmm like now ? should we learn from our past and lets see they like quoting are smart fore fathers bring us your poor ,well eventually they ran into just this problem there is only so many jobs so much room ,so lets  study that one\n\n\n\nto post below sorry honey but you got that wrong you cant eat without us \n\ndont bite the hand that feeds you

There was a gold rush in California in 1849 near San Francisco.  People that left their homes and traveled across the country to pan for gold were called "49ers".

Fresno is dead smack in the Sacramento Valley which is the agricultural center of California. Wherever there's lots of farming going on, particularly those huge corporation-owned farms, you'll find a very large population of Chicanos. They do all the grunt work and get paid a pittance, and many are illegal aliens, but there they are.

Chinese immigration in México has been around for a while. You'll find a lot of chinese descendant in states in the pacific, like Sinaloa, Sonora and Baja California. The chinese population in several states have been growing noticeable in the past few years. The same goes for Korean population, but that wasn't part of your question.\n\nI've met enough people that are half chinese that I don't know much about the "discriminatory society" part. I think the discrimination is average, like every other multicultural society.

Paleo-Indians, and it is thought that people from China and surrounding Asian areas also migrated to the West Coast before Native Americans...

Subjigating China, threatining Australia and it's Pacific satellities and eventually attacking the United States at Pearl Harbor in an attempt to beat down the United States Navy/Air Force to the point where we wouldn't be able to stop them from conquering all the islands in the Pacific. If we had surrendered or lost, they probably would've conquered Hawaii as well.

City History \n\n  Prior to the arrival of Spanish expeditions en route from Mexico, peaceful tribes of Native Americans inhabited the lush Santa Clara Valley. Under Spanish and Mexican jurisdictions, instituted in 1778, a vast region that includes present day Morgan Hill was one of the most substantial Spanish land grants for nearly three quarters of a century.\n\nIn 1845 Martin Murphy, Sr. acquired 9,000 acres known as the Rancho Ojo de Agua de la Coche. Murphy had been a leader of the first party of pioneers to cross the Sierra Nevada range at Truckee Pass, later to become the route for the Southern Pacific Railroad. The Murphy family made its home in the valley below El Toro Mountain. By 1870 Martin's seven sons and daughters had managed to acquire more than 70,000 acres.\n\nIn 1851 the youngest son, Daniel, married Maria Fisher, heiress to the neighboring 19,000 acre Rancho Laguna Seca. Diana, their precocious daughter secretly married Hiram Morgan Hill in 1882. When Daniel Murphy died, Diana inherited 4,500 acres of their original rancho in the shadow of El Toro.\n\nDiana and Hiram Morgan Hill built their estate, the Villa Mira Monte, between the railroad and Monterey Road in 1886. When the first Southern Pacific station was built in 1898, the railroad referred to this area as Huntington. Many visitors would request the train stop at "Morgan Hill's Ranch," changing the name to Morgan Hill.\n\nBy 1896 the growing community had a population of 250 with a post office, depot, two hotels, a restaurant, and several churches and shops. There was much controversy over the incorporation of the city. The Times printed many editorials supporting the issue, while those opposed were fearful of higher taxes. But the "yes" vote won by a margin of 65-36 and Morgan Hill became incorporated November 10, 1906. By 1909 the population rose to 1,000.\n\nThe first school was built in 1894, but was soon outgrown and in 1907 architect William Weeks designed a new school. By the 1920s the City was known for its agricultural products including prunes, apricots, peaches, pears, apples, walnuts, and almonds. The region boasted prosperous vineyards until Prohibition demanded that production temporarily cease. Around the 1950s Morgan Hill experienced an economic transformation from an agricultural center to a suburban residential community. Growth began to accelerate rapidly in the 1970s as Silicon Valley developed and workers were attracted to Morgan Hill's small town atmosphere, sense of community and reasonable housing prices. On November 3, 1973 the Morgan Hill Civic Center and library were proudly dedicated to the community of 7,000. By 1980 the population increased to approximately 18,000 residents. Currently, 36,000 citizens call Morgan Hill their home.\n\nMorgan Hill is located in southern Santa Clara Valley, approximately 12 miles south of San Jose, 10 miles north of Gilroy, and 15 miles inland from the Pacific Coast. The Valley is approximately 4 miles wide and is surrounded by the Santa Cruz mountain range to the west, and the Diablo mountain range to the east. Parks and open spaces abound, making Morgan Hill one of the last communities in the region with a charming, small town atmosphere.
