In a way I guess you could say. Both places we're used for an entrance to the US but one was on the east coast (Ellis) and the other was on the west coast (Angel). They had to be searched (like a typical search for an airplane ride today), but the Chinese were excluded from entering (Chinese exclusion act)

They were alike because (in the olden days) immigrants worked in both and the Transcontinental Rail Road is spread across them.
