Letter to Home – History American Immigration
Mr. Iam aught 8 roar Lane Hackney London E15 6PP United Kingdom Mr. Iam Nobody 8 Howling Lane Hackney London E15 6PP United Kingdom Dear Iam Nobody, Early today I arrived in Ellis Island, as you inhabit I went via steamship which was crowded with completely different kind of people from all different places. On the way in that location I was talking to a German man his advert was Kurt even though he was German he spoke very good English I would even say he spoke better than me to a certain extent.When we finally arrived there they took us into the Baggage Room of the Main Building, winding its way up to the second floor where we were met by a team of doctors and inspectors who would decide which way the Golden Door would swing as they called it. Although many did not know it, I could see that the inspection process had already begun. Doctors Scanning the moving line for signs of illness, Public wellness Service doctors looked to see if anyone wheezed, coughed, shuffled, or limp ed as they climbed the steep ascent.There was some other door which about 2/10 people went th bouldery I assumed that was the unlucky door which meant people didnt pass the wellness test. A few hours later I had passed my health test now and I said I would wait for Kurt to come through as he had no place to go and I was freeing to take him to Uncle Poe. Behold to me that was the last day I saw him he must have failed the health test. So I carried on in one case I reached New York I quickly found that there was a lot of segregated area for different religions or nationalitys.When Uncle Poe picked me up he showed me to his diner where once again people segregated from each other blacks in one corner, Polish in another I thought this was madness as I thought one of the main reason why people transmigrated to America was to escape discrimination. I will be working in Poes diner from now on and living above the diner. Ive only been working there for a coupling of days now theres al ready been 3 fights and a multiple of hate lecturings and just down the road 2 Irish men were shot and robbed. Its rough here so when I make enough money to move then you can immigrate over here. Sincerely, Tyler Wakefield.
