Mykaella’s background is very interesting. Her father’s family had to go through a lot of hardship and suffered a lot just to get into America, but that doesn’t mean they are all legal citizens. All he went through just shows you how strong and powerful a human’s determination can be.

            On Ligny’s journal entry, you can feel how most people felt traveling to a new place. They were scared, especially since they had to learn a whole new language. They had to wait on Angel Island for a while before they could reach California. The long journey some people went through just to reach America is very inspiriting.

            Arshad’s video is very interesting because you can see that even today immigrants from Ireland have to answer questions in order to get into the U.S. Some people are still racist and give the immigrants a lot of hardship. It’s sad to see that people can’t view anyone different from them as equals.

          Angel’s video post was shocking because not everyone is the same or thinks the same. Just because some criminals in the U.S. were Mexican, it doesn’t mean that all immigrants that come from Mexico are criminals. By judging people just because of where they come from makes us a little less human.
