\"\"<\/p>\n

Ellis Island is located next to Liberty Island, home to the Statue of Liberty.\u00a0 A total of around 12 million people who immigrated into the USA were inspected at Ellis Island since 1892.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Most of the\u00a0immigrants were European.\u00a0 Upon arrival at Ellis island, doctors conducted a 6-second medical check, followed by a legal inspection.\u00a0 20% were held back for further medical or legal examination.\u00a0 They were detained, hospitalized or appealed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Only about 2% were denied entry. One third stayed in New York City; others headed elsewhere.\u00a0 Associations which supported new immigrants welcomed new people.\u00a0 Since then, the US consulates assumed this responsibility instead. In 1954, the Ellis Island facility closed\u00a0down permanently.<\/p>\n

It might be because of my profession, but a tour of the Ellis Island was worth as much as or more than the Liberty Island with the Statue of Liberty. \u00a0Ellis Island is a highly recommended spot to visit if you are interested in.<\/p>\n
