What difficulties did Italians encounter immigrating to America?
Italians did not have many difficulties. The 3 biggest were the boat ride over, filling out the forms, and doing the tests done on them in Ellis island. The boat ride over costed 15$ (about 400$ now) for a steerage seat, which was located underneath sea level. One of the forms was the nulla osta. Before they were allowed to leave Ellis island, they had to take multiple tests. Both medical and IQ tests. Ellis island is located in NY and is where almost all Italian immigrants immigrated to.

What technology did immigration use?
As early as the late 19th century or early 20th century, many immigrants came by boat, to Ellis or Angel Island. European immigrates would travel to Ellis Island, and Asian immigrants would travel to Angel Island, where they would be inspected for diseases or other things that could prevent them from working, such as pregnancy. If an immigrant would have one of these illnesses, he/she would either have to go to their home country, or stay in these poor conditions till they overcame the illness. About 75% of these illnesses were caused by the boat ride over to America, as the conditions were about the same as the slave ships. (Cramped quarters, little or no food, etc.) Today is much different, legal immigrants usually come by plane, and wait a couple of months till they are accepted as citizens.
Is Ellis Island or Statue of Liberty more important to the US?
It is an opinion. Honestly, I think Ellis Island is more important and provided more purpose, whereas the Statue of Liberty was a gift from France. Important, yes, but not beneficial. Not that it should be given any less respect, but everyone goes to see Lady Liberty and Ellis Island is not as popular. I've heard they are usually both crowded, but when I went, we were the only ones on the boat going to the island and had the whole museum to ourselves. The Statue of Liberty is beautiful and has a grand history, but Ellis Island's history is also very interesting and so much deeper. If you are deciding which one to go to, try to go to both, but if not, Ellis Island. You take a boat ride just past the Statue of Liberty to get to Ellis Island, so you take pictures on the way there.

How were Ellis and Angel Islands similar?
In a way I guess you could say. Both places we're used for an entrance to the US but one was on the east coast (Ellis) and the other was on the west coast (Angel). They had to be searched (like a typical search for an airplane ride today), but the Chinese were excluded from entering (Chinese exclusion act)
