The Ellis Island immigrant tests, conducted from 1892 to 1954, were primarily health and legal inspections aimed at determining the suitability of immigrants entering the United States. Immigrants underwent a series of medical examinations to identify contagious diseases and physical ailments, often involving a brief physical check and questioning by doctors. Additionally, they faced legal inspections, where officials assessed their documentation and asked questions to verify their identity and intentions. Those who failed either test could be denied entry or detained for further evaluation.
