NEW LAND YES! oh crap....
The immigrants coming to America at the turn of the century must have been going through a swarm of emotions. They were hearing great tales of new land that had streets paved with gold! This though was also the biggest con. When entering America the immigrants came to Ellis island which is one of the nicest places in the north. So when people arrived they experienced a feeling of "wow this is really nice!",but when they got off the island you could go to New York or to New Jersey which are both dirty places. A lot of immigrants were also rejected because America had a quota of how many people they could actually take in. When they found this out they must have been either crying or trying to fight there way into the new country. This is disturbing, but in truth life cant be a basket full of roses.
