Upon arriving in the U.S. in the 1920s, immigrants typically first went through processing at Immigration stations, such as Ellis Island, where they underwent health inspections and legal checks. Many sought to reunite with family members already in the country or to find work in burgeoning industries. They often settled in ethnic neighborhoods to maintain cultural ties and support networks, while also adapting to American society. Additionally, many immigrants faced challenges such as discrimination and economic hardship as they sought to establish new lives.
