More than 600,000 immigrants passed through Ellis Island in 1912, the year residents of the Lower East Side wrote this letter to President Taft criticizing the disparaging remarks of the New York commissioner of immigration. Unlike earlier waves of immigration, increasing numbers hailed from Southern and Eastern Europe, including Jews and other groups that many Americans feared as radical and inassimilable. This anxiety led to a study published in $1911$ by the Dillingham Commission recommending immigration restriction, which would later be enacted in the early $1920$s.
