When we learned about immigration in class there was a lot of things that surprised me but what stood out was how healthy you had to be to be accepted. To be able to immigrate you had to pass a bunch of different health test and the slightest thing wrong would mean you were not able to go. My classed learned about Ellis and Angel island immigrants and what it took to go and their conditions. Something more I wanted to learn about was how others around the immigrants treated them like people helping the immigrants and testing them etc.. I found out about how hard it was to be and immigrant and why they decided to immigrate.
