Ellis Island is an island in New York Harbor, within the U.S. states of New Jersey and New York. Owned by the U.S. government, Ellis Island was once the busiest immigrant inspection and processing station in the United States. From 1892 to 1954, nearly 12 million immigrants arriving at the Port of New York and New Jersey were processed there; as many as two-fifths of Americans may be descended from these immigrants. It has been part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument since 1965 and is accessible to the public only by ferry. The north side of the island is a national museum of immigration, while the south side of the island, including the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital, is open to the public through guided tours.

New York most commonly refers to:New York (state), a state in the northeastern United States
New York City, the most populous city in the United States, located in the state of New York

Musical Interlude: My brief delve into chap-hop reminded me of this group I hadn't listened to in ages. Here's a fun song about a pretty unremarkable president.

Their deadpan expressions all through crack me up.
