Did many Mexicans come through Ellis Island Why?

Many Mexicans did not pass through Ellis Island, as it primarily served as an entry point for European immigrants from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Mexican immigration to the United States increased significantly during the Mexican Revolution in the early 1900s, but many entered through the southern border rather than through Ellis Island. Factors such as economic opportunities, labor demands, and political instability in Mexico drove this migration. Therefore, while some Mexicans may have arrived via Ellis Island, their numbers were relatively small compared to those from Europe.


Why Ellis Island is important?

Ellis Island is important as people from round the world, their ancestors will have passed through there to get to America. That is what has made America so culturally diverse today. Millions of immigrants passed through Ellis Island. A fire on Ellis Island burnt down records of immigrants passing through, no copies were made of these so tracing ancestors can be a difficulty. (I visited the Ellis Island Museum but I still do not fully understand so don't take all my words! :P)
