it has been interesting readying the answers to the migration question. I watched a tape last night on Ellis Island and one of the questions people were asked when they came into the country during the Ellis Island era was if they had a job in this country. If they answered in the affirmative, they were taken aside and questioned as it was illegal for people in this country to sollicit workers from other countrys and promise them work in the "new land". I wonder if this was also true before Ellis Island?
