Not entirely. One of the reasons for the opium prohibition (forestalling: I am aware that there are legitimate concerns for health and social welfare for seeking to minimize the use of opiates 'recreationally') in San Francisco and elsewhere, was the trafficking of white women with chinese men.

Thanks for the interesting information. So, not 'imported' but welcomed by entrepeneurs - not slave conditions, just denied all normal civil rights and status - immigrants, but only for around 20 years then excluded for over 60 years entirely.
The roots of Chinese exclusion were deeply buried in the soil of American racism.
mmmm, my memory was obviously seriously faulty... ;)
