Immigrants In America

Ellis Island and Angel Island were the dominant ports of entry for the ‘new’ immigrants on the East and West coast. Both immigration stations had certain similarities in how they operated, such as the conducting of medical examinations on immigrants for health or mental deficiencies, and also in their ability to generate the fear of deportation in newly arriving immigrants. Despite this, Ellis Island and Angel Island were shown to differ significantly in many other aspects within the stations, such as in living conditions, the length of detainment and the amount of families separated during the process. However, the crucial difference between the two stations is race, as Ellis Island was shown to function as a processing centre for European immigrants; whereas Angel Island was a prison for Asian immigrants, the majority of whom were Chinese. This difference in attitudes towards different races of immigrants, impacted all aspects of the stations and ultimately the rate of admittance into the United States during their time of operation.

Using the U.S. Applied General Equilibrium, it’s possible to weigh in the impact on such factors like public revenues and expenditures, the occupational mix and total employment of U.S. workers, the amount of capital owned by U.S households, and price levels for imports and exports. Legalization of immigrant workers would yield significant income gains for American workers and households. It would also allow immigrants to have higher productivity and create more openings for Americans in higher-skilled occupations.
