In the Ellis/Angel Island lesson what surprised me is when they gave the immigrants the inspections. In the class video immigrants we inspected naked and they had to get checked everywhere. I could understand why the US would do that though. They didn't want any sick people to enter America.What also surprised me is that children would be separated from their parents. They Ellis/Angel Island video states that if the child wasn't clear that they would have their parents go ahead and the children would be left behind.I do want to know more about the boat ride to America. How did they feel?There where hundreds of people on the boat how did they get along with everyone?
