Ellis Island


My hubby and I went to New York last 2006 and it was my first time to visit the Statue of Liberty. I didn't really expect that there was another island located before next of it. It's an Ellis island, a big old historical building in the middle. This island is a symbol of America's immigrant heritage. From 1892-1954, It's a place for immigrant depot processed. Nearly, twelve million immigrants before had landed just searching for their freedom of speech and religion and for economic opportunity.

How really difficult to enter here in US as an immigrants,the law is so tight. But lucky we don't need to stuck in the island and to waiting for couple of months or year of processing. It's fast now because of using the high technology, everything can be process easily.

Nowadays, the island is under management of the national park service.The monument has been preserved for the generations to come.This is one of the amazing tourist spot in New york. If you will plan to visit the Statue of Liberty,dn't miss the Ellis Island coz it's a very interesting scenery.
