Answer 1

The correct answer is D) Catholics and Jews to the US.

During the late 1800s and early 1900s, new waves of immigration brought large numbers of Catholics and Jews to the US.

During the late 19th century and early 21st century, many immigrants were Catholics and Jews that came from the European continent. These immigrants were running from political or religious persecution, they were very poor and desperate, or they simply wanted better living opportunities for their families.

In an effort to deal with an increasing number of immigrants, in 1892, the government of the US opened an immigration station on Ellis Island in New York City. Ellis Island, next to the Statue of Liberty in New York, was the first federal immigration station in the U.S. It operated from 1892 to 1954.

Ellis Island immigration station opened in 1892 and representing the entrance door for immigrants into the United States for 60 years. The majority of immigrants at that time came from South and Eastern Europe. Today, Ellis Island station is a museum.
