Which of the following groups was most likely to face interrogation at immigration stations during the 1800s?

The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 sharply restricted Chinese immigration, so officials scrutinized Chinese arrivals and questioned them about their eligibility to enter. Irish, German, and Russian immigrants generally did not face the same exclusion policies.
