No, the Statue of Liberty is located on its own tiny island, called Liberty Island. Liberty Island is roughly one and two thirds to one and three quarters of a mile off the West Side of Lower Manhattan, in Upper New York Bay.

"Lets go see the Statue of Liberty on Ellis Island!"

The Statue of Liberty is located on Ellis Island located in the New York harbour. See the related link for more information.
It is an opinion. Honestly, I think Ellis Island is more important and provided more purpose, whereas the Statue of Liberty was a gift from France. Important, yes, but not beneficial. Not that it should be given any less respect, but everyone goes to see Lady Liberty and Ellis Island is not as popular. I've heard they are usually both crowded, but when I went, we were the only ones on the boat going to the island and had the whole museum to ourselves. The Statue of Liberty is beautiful and has a grand history, but Ellis Island's history is also very interesting and so much deeper. If you are deciding which one to go to, try to go to both, but if not, Ellis Island. You take a boat ride just past the Statue of Liberty to get to Ellis Island, so you take pictures on the way there.
If the immigrant arrived at Ellis Island, they certainly could. The Statue is about 1/2 mile from Ellis Island. And not all immigrants came to Ellis Island- My wife came to Dulles Airport in Northern VA. :}
The Statue of Liberty was the first sight for thousands of immigrants who came to the United States by boat across the Atlantic, especially from Europe in the later 1800s and early 1900s.
If they are blind they see nothing.... and it would depend which way there where coming in?
(Assuming that "the statue" refers to the Statue of Liberty) The actual statue was not placed on Ellis Island, but it is very close by. Since Ellis Island was a major centre for incoming immigrants, millions of people coming there from around the globe would see the statue and read its message as they passed nearby. The significance is that a huge statue bearing a message of welcome and sanctuary for outsiders sat right where those very people would be able to see it.
Immigrants when entering the United States through New York's Ellis Island would see the Statue of Liberty.
It is on an island in NY harbor called Liberty Island. To see it you take a boat to her base.
