In 1990, the abandoned Long Island was reopened to the public. After a major restructuring of $ 156 million in costs, now is a great museum where the history of millions of lives is old. Ellis Island you can see the Statue of Liberty. Today day the great figure is generally regarded as a kind of perception immigrants Madonna non-sectarian "(approved by the lines of Emma Lazarus poem celebrates, recorded on the basis of a century earlier: "Dive me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.")
