Everyone can’t be an American….

The concept of being "able-bodied" was a significant factor in the immigration process at Ellis Island

.  

Here's why and how:

1. Medical Inspections:

• Immigrants were subjected to medical exams to identify and prevent the entry of contagious diseases that could endanger public health.
• Doctors looked for conditions like trachoma (a serious eye infection), tuberculosis, and others, that could limit an immigrant's ability to work or contribute to society.
• Those with serious illnesses were sent to the Ellis Island Hospital, with the hope that most would recover and be allowed entry.
• However, if a condition was deemed incurable or posed a public health risk, it could lead to deportation. 

2. Public Charge Considerations:

• Beyond medical issues, immigrants also had to demonstrate that they were "unlikely to become a public charge," meaning they wouldn't require government assistance.
• This assessment included considering an immigrant's physical condition and whether it would hinder their ability to work and support themselves. 

3. The "Six-Second Exam":

• Doctors developed quick, observational methods to assess immigrants as they passed through the processing areas.
• They looked for signs of physical weakness, limitations in movement, or any other indicator of a health issue that might make an immigrant undesirable. 

4. Focus on Work Capacity:

• The system was designed, in part, to select immigrants who could contribute to the nation's industrial needs.
• Conditions that might limit a person's capacity to perform unskilled labor, such as varicose veins, hernias, or deformities, were among those considered for exclusion. 

In summary: While Ellis Island is often remembered as a symbol of welcoming immigrants, it also served as a filter, and being able-bodied was an important factor in the inspection and selection process.
