I believe it would expand as fast as it is permitted, and the same is true for Mexico. I guess the same would be true for British Columbia but I haven't read as much about their immigration trends in that era.Would Asian immigration had continued or would it taper off at some point?
Racial animosity was pretty bad at this point in American history. At some point the Army will be deployed to put down an anti-Chinese rebellion.What it says on the tin.
I'm completely ignorant of it's potential impact,so I won't even suggest any directions...
(You can thank the people at "American Experience" for the idea, tho.)
Judging by Army behavior in this period, it seems more likely they'd be helping it than stopping it.put down an anti-Chinese rebellion

Edit:
Given it contributed to the 1917 law which banned immigration from East of Turkey, might it mean Armenians fleeing genocide aren't kept out?![]()
This could lead to major butterflies for Chinese history. Influential people like Chiang Kai Shek who were the children of relatively well-off merchants may have had the means to emigrate to the United States.
A large Chinese-American community could lead to a stronger China lobby and major changes in US foreign policy towards China. This could have major implications for the fate of the German treaty ports in China that went to Japan after Versailles OTL, the Chinese Civil War, and Cold War policy towards China. Would a larger, more influential Chinese-American community push for an East Asian analogue of the Bay of Pigs against the mainland or influence Taiwan's path toward democracy?

I would doubt Bay of Pigs, but a stronger China Lobby, yes, which might mean earlier entry into the conflict with Japan in the '30s, or at least more aid to China.A large Chinese-American community ...push for an East Asian analogue of the Bay of Pigs against the mainland or influence Taiwan's path toward democracy?
Not that you'd be totally wrong but the very large Irish and German populations in the US never really lobbied (successfully at least) US foreign policy particularly towards Ireland or Germany.
