If I was one of the first immigrants to come to America, i would feel exstatic for the freedom that awaits me. I think that the first immigrants felt joy for having the freedoms that we have today, but they also might feel hesitant to being new to America because of the ignorance of the average Americans back then. The immigrants probably hoped to be treated as equal as an average American, but they probably did not consider the low wages and segregation that would take place. They probably hoped for good jobs, but in return they worked unskilled labor jobs, and were hardly paid. Most fears would be that they would be segregated against, or not have the free life that they dreamed of before the came to America.
