In 1849, O'Meara sailed around Cape Horn, arriving in San Francisco in September. After a brief mining career, O'Meara returned to the newspaper business. Having worked at the "New York Herald" before coming west, O'Meara found work as the editor of the "San Francisco Herald." O'Meara moved to Oregon in 1857 and became a special writer for the "Oregonian" and later helped found the "Portland Bulletin" with Ben Holliday. O'Meara returned to San Francisco in 1876 and later served as editor of the "Chronicle" and then the "Evening Examiner." O'Meara eventually moved to Santa Rosa, where he edited the "Sonoma Democrat" and later the "Republican." Articles by O'Meara also appeared in "Overland Monthly," the "Argonaut," and many other influential publications of that era. O'Meara is also known for his 1887 pamphlet: "The Vigilance Committee of 1856. By a Pioneer California Journalist." He died in Santa Rosa, California in January 1903.

  • Enforcing Chinese Exclusion Part 1: Amendments of 1884 by Philip Chin
    Enforcing Chinese Exclusion Part 1: Amendments of 1884 By Philip Chin The law "to execute certain treaty stipulations relating to the Chinese" was the first in American history that barred any group from immigrating to the United States based upon nationality. The system for enforcing what became popularly known as the Chinese Exclusion Act though proved to be problematic. Even with sophisticated biometrics, electronic surveillance, and aerial drones, the United States still has trouble keeping out unwanted immigrants. Long and unattended land borders, corrupt immigration inspectors, forged documents, and sophisticated people smugglers were as much a phenomenon in the 19th Century as they are in the 21st. In 1882 the US Government was dealing for the first time with what were now illegal immigrants and had to setup a completely new system of law, law enforcement, and bureaucracy to deal with it. Two years after passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act, Congress started the first of several attempts to make the law more effective. On May 3, 1884, Representative John Lamb, Democrat of Indiana, introduced a bill that would include all persons of Chinese ethnicity under the 1882 Chinese Exclusion law, not just Chinese from China. The bill would also require more personal details to be provided in the passports issued to Chinese leaving the United States and presented to US immigration officials upon their return. Immigration inspectors were obviously having trouble telling one Chinese from another. A ban based upon Chinese ethnicity would work far more effectively than a ban on nationality for myopic law enforcers blinkered by racial prejudice.
