Statutes governing who may enter, remain in or become a citizen of a country. Belongs here: the Chinese Exclusion Act, the first United States federal law to bar immigration by name from a specific nationality; and the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which replaced the national-origins quota system with per-country limits and family-reunification preference. Does not belong here: a statute regulating the general civil status of residents already admitted, grouped under civil rights, equality and human rights acts instead.
