An interesting poster being displayed at Ellis Island. It shows 4 gentlemen trying to stop an immigrant from coming on board (to USA). The gentlemen were all very well dressed showing that they were wealthy. Behind them were silhouette shadows of the gentlemen respectively. The shadows indicated that they were once poor who had come to America to look for wealth and opportunity. They succeeded and became wealthy. Their actions seems to show that they had forgotten their humble beginning of immigrants to the United States.
It is a reflection that shows the current situation the United States is facing: trying to stop immigrants from coming to United States. To make America great. But the proposition has forgotten the roots of their humble forefathers who had come to America to seek a better future and brighter prospects. To live an American dream.
