In this episode, we explore Ellis Island—the entry point for millions of immigrants to the United States. Learn about its role in shaping American identity, how immigration laws changed over time, and the challenges newcomers faced. We’ll also look at how the immigrant experience in the U.S. compares to other English-speaking countries.
