Immigration on Angel Island

Angel island transformed as an immigration camp. It had people from many race such as Australians and New Zealanders, Canadians, Mexicans, Central and South Americans, Russians, and in particular, Asians. As you can see from the visual above, the mass percentage of the immigrants were Asian, Chinese to be precise. About 90% of the population on Angel Island were Chinese. Families were all separated away by each other before the medical tests, looking particularly for parasitic infections.
