第一個移民登上艾力司島 (Ellis
Island)
1892年1月1日
在1892年至1954年之間，有超過一千二百萬的外國人經由艾力司島進入美國。在這62年之間，人們從世界各地來到艾力司島，因為他們想要成為美國公民。當船靠岸後，這些移民就陸續走上岸邊，並且走進註冊辦公室接受醫生的檢查，看他們有沒有任何身體健康上的問題，同時也會有官員負責檢查他們的法律文件。在檢查通過之後，這些移民就獲准進入美國。你知道在那個時候還有什麼方法可以進入美國嗎？
More than 12 million people entered the United States through the Ellis Island immigration center from 1892 to 1954. For 62 years people came to Ellis Island from around the world because they wanted to become American citizens. After the boats docked, immigrants would disembark and walk into the Registry Room where they would see doctors who would check if they had any physical problems and officers who would look over their legal documents. Once they were given the OK to enter, the immigrants were allowed into the United States. Were there other ways to enter the U.S. at this time?
