CORTEZ: “When it comes to people coming to New York City today are nothing. I'm telling you, nothing, compared to the daily amounts of people that we saw coming in through Ellis Island in the first half of this century. We're seeing, you know, more than 12 million immigrants that passed through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954. And we have seen such huge numbers of people coming in per day that far eclipsed what we're seeing right now.”
