Best Answer

Some people called it the Island of Hope, because it was the gateway to what people hoped would be a better life than they had had in their homeland, free of oppression and offering economic opportunity. Others called it the Island of Tears, because of the would-be immigrants who had traveled across the ocean only to be told that they could not enter the U.S. because of illness or some other reason.
