The Imigration of Hispanic People Blog #3

This video is talking about the law that the governer form arizona had aprove. This law is about any hispanic that is in arizona can be detenied at any time if they see they are hispanic. This video shows too a hispanic person that aprove of the law. He says that is a good thing becuase that helps othe hispanic no to go and pass  the border. Also a women told her opinion about the law. She is hispanic and republican. She is opposed of the law. She expresed that many of the republicnas thta vote are hispanic and htat way many presidents and governers are their.

I believe that the law enforced in arizona is un fair to all hispanic people. Many of them just want a better life for thier famiy and them. In  a way I know how they feel. This is a racist thing to do in many ways. As in the videos says it could in the future affect many of the officials elected. I was impresed with the hispanic person that talk and said that he was in favor of the law. It made me feel as a betral to all hispanic people.

The Trip from China To Angel Island

The chinese were imigrants in the mid 1800's.  China began arriving, fleeing from a land stricken by both natural and man-made disasters and a collapsing rural economy. They came through  the pacific ocean it took a journey of three weeks. Many were detained were they arrived in angel island. Chinese that were in america had to prove that they had thier husband, wife or any family back in china and thir were their real relative to come to th US. Men and women were separated in different bracks or housing. They were even be deatenied weeks, months, sometimes even years.

The American Experience

One of the first imigranst in the US were wealthy sucueful merchant. many of the chines came to find jobs. Most of this jobs were laboring in agriculture, mining, industry and whereevr work was needed. They were payed very littled pay. The chinese created little towns were many chinese lived. This towns were called "Chinatown". Many violence was against the chinese mostly the urban and agriculture workers. At leats 88 chinese were reported murdered.This eliminated all imigrantion to the US . At the end of all the chinese impoved in many things as  colorful tourist attractions, well-behaved and school conscientiou. Many chinese kids were allowed to enetered public school and many feamel were imigrating to the US most of them were chines wives.
