IMMIGRATE TO AMERICA

美  國  移  民  夢

07-美國移民夢(曹良賓).jpg

　　1910-1940年，上百萬的亞洲人來到美國，第一站就是天使島。

​

　　華人女性一上岸就會被帶去問訊上百個問題，答案若不符期待，她們就會被遣返。

​

　　廣東女子郭氏被拘禁了兩年，才獲得自由，她是天使島上非自願的最久的居民。

     The period from 1910 to 1940 saw tens of thousands of Asians arriving to the west coast of America.

​

     Their first stop was the Angel Island Immigration Station, a detention center notorious for grueling interrogations.

​

     Chinese women were particularly harassed. If any of their answers were not deemed satisfactory, they would immediately be sent back on the next boat to China.

​

     Quok Shee was detained for two years before she regained her freedom. She was the longest involuntary resident of Angel Island.
