Detailed explanation-1: -In the late 1800s, people in many parts of the world decided to leave their homes and immigrate to the United States. Fleeing crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine, many came to the U. S. because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ellis Island-where roughly 70 percent of immigrants entered the United States-set the standard. After an arriving ship passed the quarantine inspection in New York Harbor, IS and PHS examiners boarded and examined all first-and second-class passengers as the ship proceeded up the harbor [4].
Detailed explanation-3: -Immigrants in the early 1900s were examined for physical and mental illness, questioned about their ability to support themselves financially, and challenged on whether they held radical views.
