Ellis Island was opened on January 1,
1892. The immigration center helped send many newcomers to the United States on their way, but sent back those who were sick or otherwise deemed unfit to live in this country.
Where did your ancestors come from? How might your life be different if your ancestors had been sent back to their native countries?
My ancestors came for China. If my ancestors had been sent back to their native countries then my life will be totally different. I wouldn't be born here and won't be a American Citizen.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because if you ancestors had been sent back to their native countries,you won't be here,and i won't see you.

That is a good start Andy, however, you need to start thinking deeper, what else would be different because your ancestors were sent back to China?

ReplyDeleteI think we wouldn't have been where we are right now if our ancestors had been sent back to their native countries because they wouldn't been able to have our Mom and Dad which leads to not having us as their son or daughter, so i feel if our ancestors were sent back we wouldn't be where we we are right now.
I agree this was our path and if our parents or ancestors never came here then our paths will change --------Jackie Zhang

ReplyDeleteMy ancestors came from China. If my ancestors came here and got sent back to their native land then the outcomes will vary if my parents get through then my life be normal, but if they didn't then my life will be different different learning and maybe different future goals.
I agree with you be if our ancestors didn't came here then we wouldn't learn stuff in American and would have changed our future goals because every country have different life style.
Deletei dont exactly agree with different goals because, lets be real here, people stiull want to get the jobs they want in the future and china still gonna teach you things from america except u will be learning chinese instead of english.and you would probably have more friends in china.
DeleteI agree because a lot of factors will change if people didn't immigrate.

My ancestors are from Morocco, but my dad came here to study, and after that he lived here. If my father was sent back to Morocco, i probably wouldn't be speaking English and i wouldn't be born in here and get an american citizenship.

ReplyDeleteMy ancestors come from China. I think my life will be different if my ancestors have been sent back to their native countries, because if I'm in another country when I was born, I might be treat differently while I grow up. And the treatment that have been through me might cause me to become a different people from who I am now.

ReplyDeleteall my ancestors are from Bangladesh but my grandfather and my father was born in india because of the war so its wouldn't hav been a problem for me because my ancestors lived far.
ReplyDeletemy ancestors came from Mexico. If they were sent back to Mexico then i would be living in Mexico and not America and my live would be very different then it is now.
ReplyDeleteMy ancestors are from Bangladesh and if they didn't come to the USA, neither would have my grandparents or parents which would lead me to not being where I am today. If I were in Bangladesh right now, especially in it's current condition, I wouldn't be doing very well. It would be disappointing knowing that I wouldn't be able to live a very good life but there must have been a good reason for my ancestors not coming to the US. It could have been for the best.
ReplyDeleteMy ancestors traced back to Peru, and some from Spain. If my ancestors were sent back to Peru,then possibly i would have been living there. My life would have been different since i wouldnt have some oppurtunities as i have now. Jason Garcia-811
ReplyDeleteMy ancestors came from China. If they were sent back home, they could barely find a job. Plus, the salary they received could not support the whole family.
