At the time that this photo was taken, many different kinds of people were coming an going from the U.S.. Many people would come just to visit, and see what life was like in America, where as others would come to live here because they had heard of many different kinds of opportunity. As seen in this photo, a Jewish and his wife had come to America. Many of reasons could have caused them to come here, whether or not they were trying to escape religious prosecution, or coming in order to start a new life in the "land of opportunity".
The people who came to America came from all over the world. Maay came from Europe, such as the Jewish people in the photo above, while others had come from Canada, Scandinavia, and even Africa. No matter where they had come from, whoever they were, they were welcomed into the U.S with open arms, after they went through the process of the Ellis Island.
