Read this excerpt about Angel Island, an immigration station in the 1900s. Entry into the United States was most difficult for the Chinese. In part, Angel Island was built to enforce laws that restricted Chinese immigration. Such laws as the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 were written out of prejudice and fear that Chinese workers were taking jobs away from European Americans. Around 30 percent of Chinese immigrants at Angel Island were forced to return to China.

The rest, those who could prove they had a husband or father who was a US citizen, were allowed to enter the mainland United States.
