ok peoplesies here is the answer to questions 1 and 2... add your answers i will add you people as collaborators

1) The practice was that one family member (usually the dad) would come over to see if america was really what its cracked up to be. They would work hard to save money for each family member to come over. First the eldest child, then the second eldest, and so on.

2) For most people it was a major experience that changed their lives forever. They arrived in numerous ways, such as riding a donkey, trains, wagon, or even walking. For some unfortunate people, they restlessly waited up to months at the station for paper work to be completed. The train schedules weren't alined with the boat schedules, causing conflict.

7. People had things to say like "I thought she was one of the seven wonders of the world," and "the bigness of Mrs. Liberty overcame us. No one spoke a word for she was like a goddess and we know she represented the big. powerful country which would become our future home.

8. They were examined by a doctor. First their face, hair, neck and hands would be inspected. If you were marked, you needed further examination. Then, you would be further examined for mental illnesses and disease. If you were suspected to have a disease or illness, you were marked. If you were marked and were older than 12, you were sent back to your home country. If you were younger, you had to be accompanied by an adult.

6.Many were inspected for diseases. It was a new experience for them. A few immigrants were dirty(because of the ship) and had to bathe in disinfectant solution. 2% were deported because they were "too ill or feeble minded to earn a living".

7.It was an amazing experience for them. "She represented the big powerful country which was to be our future home".

8.They were inspected for cholera, plaque, smallpox, typhoid fever, yellow fever, scarlet fever, measles, and diphtheria. They were checked on their hair,hands,back and feet. Some found it dehumanizing because they were treating them like diseased animals
