Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you are looking for Ellis Island.

They were inspected for mostly contagious diseases like measles. There were also many visual inspections including checking for venereal diseases. Most people who later became American Citizens remember the experience as very demeaning. Women especially felt threatened by it especially young women. The primary objective of Ellis Island was stated by Public Health Officials as protecting Americans from disease which could be carried by immigrants trying to enter the United States.
