"In the 62 years between 1892 and 1954, more than 12 million people landed on a tiny island in New York City's harbor.

Others were fleeing famine or seeking economic improvement. To all of them, Ellis Island. . . "
IMMIGRATION IMMIGRATION
"What would it take for you to pack up just a few of your most cherished possessions and move permanently to another country - war, famine, or persecution due to your religion, race, or political beliefs? Or would you move simply for the chance to make a lot more money than you now have? Throughout history, people have become immigrants for these and other reasons. But no matter what the cause. . . "
