Billy Maynard · Answer 2

The way Asians and Europeans were treated in those islands.

Explanation:

Both islands were immigration centers. Chinese immigrants arrived in Angel Island (in San Francisco) and were treated poorly; Also, those who were denied entry from the Chinese exclusion act went through investigation; They were interrogated and forced to prove they had ties with a U. S citizen. On the other hand, europeans arriving in Ellis Island (in New York Harbor) were welcomed and treated well. The immingration process with europeans was fast and efficent.
