"What is your name? Come on son, what is your name?"..."Tu nome"..."Vito Andolini from Corleone"..."Ok Corleone, Vito Corleone. Next!"

Are they immigrants or emigrants? They are two different things! Are they coming or going?

Have you seen Emanuele Crialese's "Golden Door?" (from Italy) Quite a film from the immigrants' viewpoint about their experiences and Ellis Island. Thanks for posting this. Fascinating. I thought of how little they brought as well - and my grandparents.

I see these people arriving with one or two suitcases to start a new life . . . I take more than that on a weekend trip! What courage they had!

Ya, that's pretty cool. I wonder if I just saw my great-grandparents.
