Many Americans held nativist or racist views.

Explanation: Angel Island processed and detained mainly Asian immigrants as part of exclusionary laws (e.g., Chinese Exclusion Act) driven by nativism, racial prejudice, and fears about job competition and cultural difference rather than concerns about assimilation or specific agreements.
