immigrants



An immigrant is a person that comes in from a new country to settle. These immigrants came from all over the world to America through one port in one city, Ellis Island, New York City. After comming to Ameirca and passing a few embarrasing an painful health exams, they would walk out on to smelly Manhatten thinking that the Stautue of Liberty exaggerated just a tad.
