Chinese Exclusion Act never repealed

[acgoldis]

Could the following scenario have taken place in 1942?

Congressman: "Hey, let's repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act."
Opponent: "That's not a bad idea, but there are probably Japanese running all over that part of the world. How can we make sure we're admitting Chinese and not Japanese with falsified documents? Granted, the Chinese are probably OK, but given that we are during wartime..."
Congressman: "OK, fine. We'll do it later."

1945:

Congressman: "Hey, let's repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act."
Opponent: "Hold off on that for a moment: we've got bigger fish to fry like fixing Europe. Besides, there are still some pretty pissed Japanese out there."
Congressman: "OK, fine. We'll do it later."

1949-1950:

Congressman: "Hey, let's repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act."
Opponent: "YOU'RE A RED!"
Congressman: "OK, fine. We'll do it later..."

Do we still have the One China policy in this scenario ("hey let's bring in Taiwanese...")

Were there any significant Chinese people that came to the US after the Chinese Exclusion Act was repealed and before the 1965 Immigration and Nationality act? Only 105 Chinese people were allowed to immigrate to the US after the 1943 law so unless we had very significant Chinese immigrate to the US during that period, the Chinese exclusion act not being repealed would have little to no effect.

No significant Chinese people, to answer your question.
