immigration through ellis island? that story of european immigrants coming to new york passing through ellis island certainly there were examinations, there were physicals. there was some detention, but it was primarily pretty short-lived and most immigrants were admitted pretty easily into the country. not only that, but this story has taken on a myth of its own. it is the bedrock of this idea that the u.s. is a nation of immigrants. how do we reconcile this great immigration debate that is going on today and then this idea that we are a nation of immigrants? i think one of the ways that we can think about this constituted -- complicated history of immigration is through looking at immigration through angel island. because we know that not all immigrants were welcomed into the country. not all immigrants were able to achieve their american dreams. but rather, we picked and sifted and chose which immigrants to let in and which immigrants to let out. to keep out. many times, this really was dependent upon an immigrant'
