Immigrants at Ellis Island faced numerous challenges, including rigorous medical examinations that could lead to rejection if they were deemed unfit for entry. Language barriers often hindered communication with officials, complicating the Immigration process. Additionally, long wait times and the uncertainty of their fate created significant emotional stress. Many also encountered financial hardships, as they needed to prove they could support themselves upon arrival.

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.
