7-1 20 million people came from Europe from 1870 to 1920, many came from Asia as well. Came to America for religious freedom, basically better oppurtunitities. Immigrants had terrible conditions coming to America from Europe. Had to pass health inspections, as well as many other tests and examinations to get in the states european immgrants went through ellis island, asian immigrants had to go through angel island. Americans viewed immigrants as not as good as they were.
