2. Honoring the Contributions of Chinese Immigrants Monument
According to the caption on the marker, the monument reads as follows: Leaving their homes and villages, they crossed the ocean,
only to endure confinement in these barracks. Conquering frontiers and barriers, they pioneered a new life by the Golden Gate. -- Eddie Ngoot Ping Chin
Also see . . . Immigration Station - California State Parks Page. When it opened in 1910, the new detention facility on Angel Island was considered ideal because of its isolation. Access to and from the Island was very important to control and enforce the relatively new immigration laws and deal with the threat of disease from the many new people arriving daily to America. There were buildings to house and care for detainees, a pier, hospital, and regular boat service to the mainland. During the next 30 years, this was the point of entry for most of the approximately 175,000 Chinese immigrants who came to the United States. Most of them were detained on Angel Island for as little as two weeks or as much as six months. A few however, were forced to remain on the island for as much as two years.
