The correct statement regarding the Chinese Exclusion Act is that it **stopped Chinese immigration for a period**. The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in 1882 and effectively halted the immigration of Chinese laborers to the United States for ten years, and it was later extended and made permanent until it was repealed in 1943.
