Immigration stations Once immigrants arrived in the United States, they went through places like… Ellis Island: in New York harbor (Statue of Liberty) for immigrants coming from Europe Angel Island: in San Francisco Bay, for immigrants coming from Asia

Angel Island Ellis Island www.nps.gov

Stations, cont. Once they arrived, government workers asked immigrants where they planned to live and work Doctors would examine immigrants for diseases Almost all Europeans were allowed to enter the United States Asians immigrants faced more prejudice Forced to stay for weeks, months or even years at Angel Island before being allowed to enter US About 25% were forced to return to home country

Living in a new country After entering, most immigrants settled near family or friends In big cities whole neighborhoods were made of one single ethnic group (a group of people who share a culture or a language) Life was difficult! Worked in dangerous steel mills Worked in noisy, dirty factories Worked long hours for very low pay

Life, cont. Many lived in tenements (a poorly built apartment building) Very crowded and unsafe Often without windows or running water www.regentsprep.org

Hard Times for Immigrants As neighborhoods changed, immigrants faced prejudice Employers liked to hire immigrants Worked hard for little pay Some worried about losing jobs to immigrants blsciblogs.baruch.cuny.edu

Laws against Immigration Congress started limiting immigration in 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act More laws passed in early 1920s lowering the number of European immigrants Despite laws, immigrants helped with United States to become one of the richest and fastest growing country in the world
