  • a-m-a-z-i-n-g left their homelands behind on the other side of the ocean most came with nothing but hopes & dreams they learned the language and loved the land appreciated the opportunity & respected the flag taught their children to be proud citizens NOW look at our "immigrants" scurrying across the border like roaches refuse to speak our language & disrespect the flag creating crime ridden communities akin to 3rd world nations ~be EXTRA proud to be descendants of the people in this film!!
  • My great grandfather came thru EI in January of 1906. This must have been what it was like for him, carrying all his posessions and heading for a new life in Chicago. It must have been scary, and a bit exciting too.

  • So disorderly, so different from checking through customs today

  • im sure nearly everyone in europe and america does to.
