Best Answer

The immigrants had to go through Immigration stations such as Ellis Island and Angel Island. Where they were checked for disease, and had to go through a government inspector to see if they met the legal requirements for entering the United states. Which included proving they had never been convited of a felony, demonstrating that they were able to work, and showing that they had some money. Some immigrants would be held for days, months, and even some up to a year for inspection.

What group believed that only long ago immigrants from Western Europe could become real Americans?

Nativists held this belief around the turn of the 19th century. Around the beginning of the 20th century, immigrants started to come to America from Eastern Europe as they attempted to flee the tyranny and conflict that would eventually become World War I. Americans did not always like all these new people coming into the country, and nativists believed that they were tainting America and could never truly be part of it.
