For many immigrants, Ellis Island was the opening to the land of milk and plenty. Where the streets were paved with good.
America was THE place were you could do what ever you wanted to do, and be what ever you wanted to become. ( Or so these people believed )
Might have been more appropriate if it had been called the " Pearly Gates " The entrance to heaven. Little did these people realize the hardships that awaited them.
Also coming from so many troubled foreign lands, some found the USA was better than the land they left. But, for most it was changing one kind of hardships for another.

Ellis Island once again saw itself as a detention center for alien enemies during World War II. After the Internal Security Act of 1950, which banned immigrants who had been members of Communist and Fascist organizations, and the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952, fewer and fewer people came through Ellis Island. In November 1954, Ellis Island closed its doors. However in 1965, President Johnson added Ellis Island to the Statue of Liberty National Monument, and in 1976, Ellis Island opened its doors to the public for visits. Since then, Ellis Island has opened a museum and launched a Web site, giving people access to the records of millions of immigrants who came through the Island between 1892 and 1924. The Web site has already had over 12 billion hits since launching in 2001. There is a link to it below.
