Race is a pertinent issue in the social context in of America because since it determines the perception one acquires in of the nation. Among the grouping that has had to grapple with negative perception because of their identity for decades are Asian Americans, regarded by some as ‘foreigners forever’. According to Nakanishi, & Lai (2003), the existing immigration restriction and exclusive legislations has made it difficult for Asian Americans to integrate into the society as full citizens. Despite the naturalization of a significant section of the community, the combination of restrictions has continued creating to create the perception that the group is not American even in the context where the Asians fulfill the legal requirements for qualificationto qualify for citizenship.

As highlighted in numerous academic resources, the community has grappledstruggled with the most obstacles restrictions in gaining citizenship. Even in the political context, some non-Asians perceive the group differently. Hence, most of them represent their interest as foreigners due to the perception created inmade by the public domain (Ancheta, 2006). For that reason, it is critical exploring to explore the issues in order to understand the tribulation of the member of the racerace members. Such members, necessitates an a further exploration of literature materials clarifying the basis for the consideration of the people as foreigners despite many of them being Americans.

The objective is to enable the audiences to contextualize the circumstances under which a combination of immigration restrictions and exclusion of citizenship has created the perception that Asian Americans are foreign. Henceforth, the research question of how the combination of immigration restrictions and exclusion of citizenship influence the opinion of public. The statement problem is that existing immigration laws encourage isolative treatment of the Asian American race in the United States leading to the perception that the group is forever foreign. The methodology of the study entails utilization of a qualitative approach in which the researchers will explore a collection of scholarly materials on the subject as well as documents enlisting the basis for the restrictions and the implication of the existing legislation on the creation of the perception that Asian American are forever foreigners.
