Explain what you think machiavelli is saying. do you agree or disagree with him

Well, I'm not sure what passage you're talking about, but a lot of his writings reflect on the idea that the ends justify the means, which means you can kill and torture as long as you think the end result is worth it, which would make sense, since he sided with the Medici's, basically the first mob family. If you're talking about "it is better to be feared than to be loved," he's talking about your stance according to the public. I personally believe that neither of these statements are morally sound because they eerily remind me of Hitler, but to each his own.

add me as friend then ill answer

angel island immigration station was an immigration station located in san francisco bay which worked from 1910 to 1940. the majority of immigrants that got there were from the asian hemisphere, specifically from china, japan, russia, and south asia, being china the country from where more people arrived.

the number of foreigners arriving at it took the attention of americans who feared the new arrivals would take their jobs. the work opportunities were not abundant due to the economic comedown of 1870 and the asians, as newcomers, were willing to work for cheaper wages. soon they started to be seen as a threat, which led to an increased discrimination against the chinese - the biggest ethnicity arrived at this station until 1915 when japanese immigrants outnumbered them - being considered as unsuitable americans hence their looks and social situation.

at the station, the immigrant's detention may vary depending on how long the interrogation process took: it could be weeks, months, or even years.

finally, in 1940 an explosion destroyed administration building located on the island, so the united states government decided to stop the process.
