Hundreds tried but they had all failed...
Ellis Island in New York Harbor and Angel Island in San Fransisco bay
The symbol of freedom in New York Harbor that welcomes many immigrants is the Statue of Liberty.Once people see the statue, which is huge, they will realize that the United States is a free country.

everyone aboard the steerage part of the ship
While entering New York Harbor by ship, immigrants saw the Statue of Liberty. Many of them were relieved to know that they had survived the trip. They also thought of it as a sign of freedom from the oppression they had experienced in their past countries.It brought tears to the eyes of many.It was a sight to behold.To see the sight of the Statue of Liberty meant that they were free from poverty and more.

etween 1910 and 1940, there were as many as 175,000 Chinese immigrants detained and processed at Angel Island, San Francisco Bay, California. Unlike Ellis Island in New York's harbor, Angel Island is a visible reminder of a shameful period in U.S. immigration history.
