Ellis Island built a nation through law and order; Biden’s border chaos dismantled it with lawlessness, division, and the greatest illegal influx in U.S. history.
Between 1892 and 1954, approximately 12 million immigrants arrived at the now-iconic Ellis Island to enter the U.S.—or nearly 200,000 legal entries per year.
All were registered, documented, and given rudimentary health exams.
They arrived as rich and poor, white and non-white, and, without exception, legally.
With the gradual decline of such great influxes, Ellis Island finally ceased operating roughly 71 years ago.
