Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island

Charles Briggs, 6, from Boca Raton, Florida peers through binoculars at the Statue of Liberty from his Ellis Island vantage point on May 9, 1996 in New York. We've embraced your poor, your tired, your huddled masses and millions of their descendants, too. Now, say attorneys for New York state, we want permanent custody of their gateway to America: Ellis Island. (AP Photo/David Brauchli)
