第一个移民登上艾力司岛 (Ellis
Island)
1892年1月1日
在1892年至1954年之间，有超过一千二百万的外国人经由艾力司岛进入美国。在这62年之间，人们从世界各地来到艾力司岛，因为他们想要成为美国公民。当船靠岸后，这些移民就陆续走上岸边，并且走进注册办公室接受医生的检查，看他们有没有任何身体健康上的问题，同时也会有官员负责检查他们的法律文档。在检查通过之后，这些移民就获准进入美国。你知道在那个时候还有什么方法可以进入美国吗？
More than 12 million people entered the United States through the Ellis Island immigration center from 1892 to 1954. For 62 years people came to Ellis Island from around the world because they wanted to become American citizens.

Once they were given the OK to enter, the immigrants were allowed into the United States. Were there other ways to enter the U.S. at this time?
