Immigration is a source of pride, strength

On January 1, 1892, teenager Annie Moore from County Cork, Ireland, became the first person admitted to the new American immigration station on Ellis Island in New York.

Many of us, in fact all of us, share similar stories of ancestors coming to the United States from places all over the world. We are a nation of immigrants and it is a significant source of our pride and strength. 

It is in this spirit that our National Immigrants Day on Oct. 28 was created. 

“E Pluribus Unum”

“Out of many, one”

Our national motto.
