how does this compare, ellis island to angel island? we know there's around 12 million who come through ellis island during its period of operation from 1891 to 1952. that 20% of all immigrant arrivals are detained. so those are the women and children who are arriving to join their husbands. they need to wait until their husbands and fathers come and retrieve them. or those who are being tested for those contagious diseases. so 20% are detained. but it's not for long. detention time is one to two days on arcverage. in the end, 90% are more admitted. we think of ellis island as more of a processing center going through. the numbers are much different. just half a million come through angel island. so the scale is quite different. but we see the differences right away, too, with the detention. 20 % on ellis island, 60% of all immigrant arrivals are detained on angel island. instead of counting detention times in one to two days, they count them in weeks, months, and years y. the longest detention time is 756 days. 93% of chinese are admit

immigration through ellis island. this is what we talked about last week. it is the history of european immigrants coming to the new world under the shadow of the statue of liberty is told as a very uplifting and romantic story where immigrants become americans. but not many of us know the history of immigration through angel island. this is the immigration station in san francisco. and it is an important site not only for what happened back then in the early were 20th century but also because it is so timely today. it is is timely because when we pick up any newspaper we see headlines like this. this is just from last week. republicans slam obama's immigration town howell. obama, i'll fight any attempt to reverse immigration action. moving toward to fix our broken immigration system. house conservative boehner, don't cave on immigration. u.s. immigration dispute threatens security agency shutdown. does anyone know what some of these headlines are referring to last week? what was the big debate in congress? what was t

ancestors but ellis island was also a detention center. another one in california called angel island that i did not know about it. the west coast premiere of the ended up with immigrants from asia. but ellis island operated 62 years 189-23-1954 angelou island operated 1910 through 1940. but the united states eventually moved away from the concept of detention centers and the old ims in 1954 when they closed ellis island said that simply are going out of the detention center business we will have some cases but basically they would not be imprisoned in large numbers of people. i had a wonderful quote from the supreme court in 1958. . . exception and certainly this policy reflects hum human qualities of growth. that lasted for 22 years. then it kind of changed in the face of 125,000 immigrants who some of the students may not know about that episode of american history. it was in 1980 and all of these people fled castro in boats and landed on the shores of florida. it was the last year of the jimmy carter administration. people were overwhel

but you know ellis island was a detention center. there was angel island in california that i didn't know about before. it was on the west coast and dealt primarily with immigrants from asia. ellis island operated from 1892-1954 and angel island from 1910-1940. but the united states eventually moved away from the whole concept of having detention centers and the immigration and naturalization services that proceeded the department of homeland security in 1954 when they closed ellis island they had we are going out of the detention center business, we will have some beds for hard-core cases, but they would not be detaining or let's use the word implies large amounts of people. i have a vote from the supreme court in 1968 justice clark wrote physical detention of the alien is now the exception and certainly this policy reflects hum human qualities of growth. that lasted for 22 years. then it kind of changed in the face of 125,000 immigrants who some of the students may not know about that episode of american history. it was in 1980 and

which is why millions statue of liberty and ellis island. they will tell you when their grandfather came over from greece or ireland and how it became part of the great american dream. when it's happening around us, whether it's us in 2014, us in 1944, us in 1894 or 1844, it seems alarming. it seems quite alien and dangerous. that's the kind of dynamic we're going to look at here today. where these ideas of two ways of thinking about this immigration. think about the positive side of immigration, the way we think about it in positive terms. it's something i call the multicultural ideal. that's throughout our -- in the 20th and 21st century, we have developed this language of diversity, tolerance, multiculturalism, the words we express why it's a good thing. this has great historical depth to it. go back to the late 18th century. a series of small essays were written about america. america was being born. one of the first guys to write down what this thing is, this america that's being born. one of his most famous observations and lines is th

getting off the boat at ellis island, it is a wonderful film. we have a whole series of films that were shot of before and after the san francisco earthquake. we have some that were made literally in the weeks before the san francisco earthquake. popof them is particularly -- popular, called a trip down market street, in which a camera was mounted down at the front of a streetcar and follows the streetcar all the way down market street in san francisco. that was taken in a few weeks, just before the san francisco earthquake in april, 1906. and then of course cameramen rushed out to chronicle a lot of the fires and the destruction that happened in san francisco. we have other interesting oddities in the collection, for example the very earliest ad we ine in our collection is 1898, it is an ad called admiral cigarettes. another that is interesting, this is from 1903. this is for scouring powder. you will notice the unique format of this, this is from a biograph camera in 1903, the paper is wider. it has this big center corporate -- preparation, th

shots of people getting off the aat at ellis island, which is wonderful film. we have a whole series of films that were shot before and after the san francisco earthquake. we got some that were made literally in the weeks before the san francisco earthquake. particularlys popular called "a trip down market street," which a camera was mounted on the front of a streetcar and follows the path all the way down market street in san francisco. that was taken a few weeks before the san francisco earthquake in april 1906. of course, cameramen washed out to chronicle the fire and destruction that happened in san francisco in the wake of the earthquake. we have other little interesting oddities in the collection, like, for example we have advertisements. the very earliest ad we have in our collection comes as an -- in called admiral cigarettes. interesting,is this is from 1903. this is for gold dust scouring p owder. ok, now, you will notice the unique format of this. this is from a biograph camera 1903. the paper is whiter. it has this unique center perforation. the way

was an father, who immigrant who came through ellis island, i think abiding by our laws is important.n't believe we are going mass and 12 million people. we have to come up with some accommodation in that regard. i think we can do that. we have republicans on the show all the time and asked them what should you do with the 13 million people here. they all say, we have to focus on the border first. as someone who wants to rebuild the image of the party with that ac voters, is politically smart, courageous position to take, or should we all find some way to self-support, whatever it is. from my expense running in a purple state and an important state in the electrical -- electoral college, -- everyone agrees with that. pretty much everyone agrees that we need to do that. the second thing we have to do is reform our visa system. 40% are hereby having overstayed their visas. to do is thing we need that for those who are here illegally but have not broken other laws besides immigration laws, then we can give them a fresh visa and they can be here legally. as someone who wants to rebuild th

so, remember that detentions in ellis island were about one to two days. angel island, as hard as they were, averaged in the two to three weeks. today incarceration periods range from 37 days to 10 months. so we have 300,000 immigrants who were detained in angel island over 30 years compared to in 2011 alone, this is the most recent statistics, 429,000 in one year. so, it's been 50 years since we've passed comprehensive immigration reform. we're recognizing or honoring the 50 th anniversary of the 1965 immigration act and it's clear from the headlines that i showed at the beginning that we're in a current debate over immigration about which there does not seem to be any easy solution. so how do we connect this to angel island, then? i would argue that angel island represents the best and the worst of america's immigration history. there are many, many immigrant families, including my own, who can trace their roots back to angel island and have made it through the educational system and can now celebrate generations of being in the united states. but there

i have been on ellis island. i would like to do that.k: this is a great city, but it has problems like most urban places. what are one or two cities that are working as models as the way urban areas should work? dr. carson: i'm not sure that there are any that are absolute models, but i do think there is some general principles that are very important. fiscal responsibility. the cities that have both governors and mayors that are fiscally responsible obviously are the ones that have done the best right now. i think that is a general principle. as we look throughout the nation, it's just, i guess, maybe could it be coincidence that the ones who have governors that are fiscally responsible tend to be the ones in the black and doing better. john: you get asked questions about black lighves matter. you talk a lot about culture. do you think there is a problem with systematic bias within police forces in america against african-americans? dr. carson: like i said, i think fear and unfamiliarity creates problems on both sides. and the way you s

when we got off ellis island, the founders could have never and vision such a porous border like what we have, nor the speed of mass transportation, and of course, media to inform people that they could come to this country and just have babies, and then they would have citizens. that peoples wrong don't want to come here and learn english, and be , and haved, and just and just come and have a baby. i do not think the founders could have envisioned anything like this. host: you think the society has outpaced the 14th amendment? caller: it is sticking to principles, i think is what it is. -- people understand can't understand that even though things have changed around you, you can't change principles. people thatat the were going to be in this country, if it were to work, would basically be self governed . in other words, they would be people with their own self under control before they try being in the government. i think that is one of the things -- we don't have the morality in this country. just look at our drug problems and other things. founders could have never citizensd who t
