Answer:
The author writes that the ordeal of the voyage was worth it. He develops this idea by including a quotation that tells what the voyage was like and how immigrants felt about arriving to the US. The quotation gives credibility to the author's idea and makes the text stronger because it is from an immigrant who had firsthand experience making the voyage and arriving in the states.
