angel island is known as ellis island of the west. over a 30-year period, 1910 to 1940, angel island processed one million immigrants from around the world, with the majority coming from asia. today the angel island immigration station contributes greatly to our understanding of our nation's rich and complex immigration history by hosting more than 50,000 people, including 30,000 school children every single year. but because of their deterioration, many of the historic buildings are in danger of collapsing and in desperate need of repair. that's why along with speaker pelosi requested $1 million to rehabilitate the old angel island immigration hospital that can be used among other things as a museum to tell the story of imgation from asia to the united states. now, i doubt very much that anyone would come to this floor to strike funding for ellis island and argue that its preservation was wasteful government spending. but at the heart of the matter, angel island is just as important for those who crossed through its gates as ellis is
