Read Edward Corsi's quotation from the book Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman. The writer Angelo Pellegrini has recalled his own family's detention at Ellis Island: My sister was indeed momentarily rejected; she had been so ill and had cried so much that her eyes were absolutely bloodshot, and Mother was told, "Well, we can't let her in." This quotation adds credibility to the text because

The text above shows how immigrants were treated when they tried to reach the USA and how complicated, delicate and neglected their situations were by immigration taxes. However, the storyteller is reporting a personal moment where violence against immigrants was imposed on his family. As the narrator is reporting a moment that he lived, this quote has great credibility.
