ELLIS ISLANLD (WABC) --
At a time when many Americans are trying to restrict people from immigrating or seeking refuge here, there was a celebration of immigrants Thursday.
New Americans were honored at Ellis Island, the portal where 12 million people once entered the United States.
At one point 40% of Americans could trace their families through Ellis Island.
Thanksgiving dinner was served there on this Thursday in November.
