“From an advertisement found in China in the mid 1800s:
Americans are very rich people. They want the Chinaman to come and will make him very welcome. There you will have great pay, large houses, and food and clothing of the finest description. You can write to your friends and send them money at any time, and we will be responsible for the safe delivery.... There are a great many Chinamen there now, and it will not be a strange country. Chinagod is there, and the agents of this house. Never fear and you will be lucky. Come to Hong Kong, or to the sign of this house in Canton, and we will instruct you.
Money is in great plenty and to spare in America".

I think the video is very shocking and sad but it shows the truth about all the immigrants and I completely agree with them, because if they all go to their home countries, there would be a big hole in the United States because who is going to do their jobs?
