∙ 14y agoAnyone who wanted to immigrated to New York until minor disease and finance related restrictions were imposed in the later 19th century or until quotas were imposed in 1923. Mostly they were people from Europe, the Mediterranean region and North Africa.
For some New York was a destination and for others it was only an entry point to the New World.
They were the ingredients to a great melting pot. They entered through Ellis Island only if they were steerage or third class passengers. First and second class passengers had already been released by Customs and Immigration before they were landed. They were people for whom this inscription makes sense:
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
They were told that the streets were paved with gold and found that there were no streets and so they built them.
They were the miners, the farmers, the laborers, the lumberjacks that while still exploited were the foundation and backbone of a new nation.
