Reаd the fоllоwing аrticle аnd answer the questiоns that follow. Ellis Island: Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears Between 1880 and 1920, a period of just forty years, the remarkable total of 23.5 million immigrants arrived in the country. They came from around the world, though mostly from Europe, driven from their homelands by economic, religious, or other troubles, lured across the ocean by the chance for a better life. They entered the country through several ports, but by far the most- about seven out of every ten-landed in the city of New York. Until 1892, they landed at Castle Garden, a sprawling building on the tip of Manhatten Island. When it could no longer handle the flow, the entry site was moved to Ellis Island, close to the Statue of Liberty. Contractors erected a wooden structure, which opened in 1892 and burned down five years later. They then put up the current edifice, an imposing red brick building with triple-arch entrances and corner steeples. A small city, it had dormitories, a hospital, a post office, and showers that could bathe eight thousand people a day . It opened in 1900. The change to Ellis Island represented more than just a shift in site. Entrance at Castle Garden had been fairly informal, since control over immigration still rested largely in the hands of the states. Officials merely registered newcomers, a process that took about thirty seconds. In 1891, worried about the growing numbers of people who wanted in, Congress acted to bring immigration under federal control. Ellis Island was given tasks Castel Garden never had, including mandates to keep out people some Americans considered undesirable. It became, one observer said, "the nearest earthly likeness to the Final Judgment, when we have to prove our fitness to enter Heaven." The great burst of immigration, halted during World War I, ended with the adoption of restrictive legislation in the 1920's. Ellis Island became a detention center for "radicals" and other people awaiting deportation. Once the gateway to the United States, the famous island had become an exit. -Divine et al., American Past and Present, pp. 472-473. The subject of this selection is
