reading and notes

Today on December 5th, in class we got a handout and we had to read through and highlight important information and then summarize it in our notebooks and write it all down. While I was reading through he packet and taking notes on the side and pulling out the important information I actually found it interesting because I learned a lot of new words and how migration works and the part about the border I found interesting because a lot of the stuff that was said I had no idea how any of that stuff worked I just knew it was dangerous because your getting all the people that want to cross into the country but don't really have a lot of reasons they just want to get out of Mexico or wherever there migrating from. There was also a part that talked about Ellis Island and how that worked with all the different people that came over on boats from other countries trying to get into the U.S but couldn't and it was sad because some families they left some of there family members in and then not the rest so it was sometimes only not even half of there family getting in which is sad because then the others are left behind not knowing if they will ever see there loved ones again or where they will be sent and it was hard because they spent all this time on dirty ships that were crowded and there were a lot of diseases that killed people on the way so they suffered all that time and now can't be let in because of certain restrictions.
