Ellis Island was a inspection station for immigrants coming into the United States which was a gateway for millions of immigrants from 1892 until 1954. Angel Island was a gateway for Asian immigrants, which they experienced harsh questioning, were checked for diseases, and checked for criminal record. Many were sent back or quarantined due to this.
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.
