G.I. Babies / US Immigration Laws
A war child or G.I. baby refers to a child born to a native parent and a parent belonging to a foreign military force. It also refers to children of parents working with an occupying force. Having a child with a member of a belligerent foreign military, throughout history and across cultures, is often considered a betrayal of social values. Commonly, the native parent is disowned by family, friends and society at large. The term ‘war child’ is most commonly used for children born during World War II and its aftermath. The immigration laws for Korean immigrants were the same laws put in place during the late 1800's and early 1900's. When Chinese immigrants were migrating from China to California for the gold rush. These laws included the Chinese exclusion act of 1882, which restricted the amount of immigrants that could enter the country. In this case the law referred to the Korean immigrants instead of the Chinese.
