Youare going to be creating a comic strip that is based on the immigrants you can choose either the experience of Old/New Immigrants from Europe or you can choose Chinese/Japanese immigrants

During the early 1900s, the United States experienced a significant wave of immigration that transformed its social, economic, and cultural landscape. Millions of people from Europe, Asia, and other regions sought refuge from poverty, persecution, and political unrest in their home countries. This influx included diverse groups such as Italians, Irish, Jews, and Chinese, each bringing unique traditions and perspectives. Ellis Island became a symbol of hope, as it served as the primary entry point for millions of immigrants who were processed and welcomed into the nation. The new arrivals played a crucial role in the industrial boom, providing labor for factories and infrastructure projects, while also facing challenges like discrimination and harsh working conditions. The experiences of these immigrants shaped the identity of the United States, contributing to its reputation as a land of opportunity and diversity.

The Chinese worked as hard laborers, and entrepreneurs, as operators of establishments, including restaurants, laundry, and opium dens, and prostitutes, sin-traders slaves. The Japanese were clerks, accountant, bureaucrats; women worked as tailors, florists, and gheisas, or artisans of the pillow.

The Irish Famine drove the mid-19th century Irish immigrants to New York, and the poor and hungry, were desperate for work, wages, bedbugged tenements; yet these immigrants faced callous and cruel shopkeepers who nailed up racist slogans on store signs stating: NIna "No Irish Need Apply!." In their desperation, these underground pilgrims joined crime syndicates, the Catholic Church as nuns or priests, political pundits, or Mavins of the mob, petty thieves as youth, rising to the Czars of secret fraternities, rivals of Al Capone or Rose Kennedy's husband Joe running whiskey from Canada to Chicago. Some drank their Weltschmerz in noels as F. Scott Fitzgerald or poets in the Green spacts of Village Voices like James Joyce. They died from alcolic dreams of the lost souls of Modernists.
