Answer:
Immigrants coming to Angel Island faced much a harder time entering the U.S than those coming to Ellis Island because Angel Island was the main immigration station on the West Coast, meaning it was more heavily guarded and more difficult for immigrants to pass through. Additionally, Angel Island was used for the purpose of “steering” certain immigrants away from the U.S. due to their race, religion, or political beliefs, while Ellis Island was more open to all immigrants. Furthermore, Angel Island had much stricter medical and financial requirements, requiring immigrants to pass physical and mental health inspections, and to prove they had enough money to support themselves in the country.
