I am worried for you!!!! So I am giving you all an outline form to fill out today!!!!
On Monday and Tuesday, you are going to be assigned to write a 5 paragraph essay about the history of immigration in the US.
You are allowed to bring an outline of facts, but not a complete essay.
If you handed in a paragraph yesterday, I edited it for you.
If you did not, you do not get the benefit of edits.
The only thing you can use for this assessment is your outline.
Today you should write your outline!!!!
Try to be ready for Monday!

1882-The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in order to prevent an excess of cheap labor in the U.S. and provided the deportation of those who were adjudged illegal residents. The act froze the population of the Chinese community leaving its sex ratio highly imbalanced. For more than half a century, the Chinese lived in an essentially bachelor society where old men always outnumbered the young. Three years before, the previous president had vetoed a similar law completely restricting all immigration of Chinese immigrants to the U.S. A year after the end of his term, the new president passed the Chinese Exclusion Act.
1891-The Immigration and Naturalization Service was created to administer the federal laws relating to the admission, exclusion and deportation of aliens and to the naturalization of aliens lawfully residing in the U.S. The INS investigates the qualifications of applicants for citizenship and provides public schools with textbooks and other materials required for the schooling of those applying for citizenship. Also, agents of the service patrol the borders of the U.S. to prevent the illegal entry of aliens.
1892-The INS opens an immigration screening station at Ellis Island
1907-The U.S. and Japan sign the Gentleman's Agreement ensuring that the Japanese government will not issue passports to Japanese laborers intending to enter the U.S. Under the Gentleman's Agreement, the U.S. refrained from enacting any laws excluding Japanese immigrants until 1924
1917-The Immigration Act of 1917 not only expanded the classes of foreigners excluded from the U.S., but created the Asiatic Barred Zone, a geographical region covering most of eastern Asia and the Pacific islands from which no immigrants were to be admitted into the U.S. The law also imposed a literacy test and aliens who were unable to meet the minimum mental moral, physical, and economic standards were excluded, as were anarchists and other subversives, from the U.S.
1918-Congress passes the Anarchist Act of 1918 which expands the provisions for the exclusion of subversive aliens

Hey Frank I’m finally here in America can’t wait till you get here. When I got here we went to this building were I left my suitcase and then followed the men up the stairs for medical examinations. I got there and they checked me to see if I had any contagious diseases or to see if I was healthy enough to work. I was relieved when I passed the test. Then they send us to a place were a man asked for my full name, and said were I was going to live and what am I going to work in. I said im going to work with my uncle in construction in New York City. After that I went to go change my money from Ireland for American money. Then I followed everyone outside the exit of Ellis Island. I looked around and heard my name, I turned and saw my uncle and auntie waiting for me. I was so happy. So that’s it my good friend write back and tell me when your coming to America
