Answer: A. the frustration of coming so close to America yet not being allowed to enter and live.

This poem is found on the walls of Angel Island's Detention Barracks. Angel Island was an immigration station that served as the entering point to America from the Pacific. It was referred to as the "Ellis Island of the West." Immigrants were often detained there for days or weeks, while being interrogated before being allowed to enter the country or forced to go back. The poem describes this frustration, of being so close to America, yet not be allowed to enter.
