American Immigration
The American Immigration Home Page was started as a part of a school project for a
10th grade American History Class. The project was meant to give information as to how
immigrants not only were treated, but also why they decided to come to America. Feel free
to explore the rest of the site.
From 1910 to 1940, Angel Island Immigration Station, located in the
middle of the San Francisco Bay, was routinely the first stop for immigrants
crossing the Pacific Ocean. More than a million immigrants from around
the world entered American here.
From 1910-1940, Chinese immigrants were detained and interrogated at Angel Island
immigration station in San Francisco Bay. U.S. officials hoped to deport as many as
possible by asking obscure questions. Immigrants were detained weeks, months, sometimes
even years.
