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.
