0:26Now PlayingIn the 1880s, immigrants arriving in New York City, particularly at Ellis Island, were often the targets of scams in which criminals posed as officials and demanded additional fees under false pretenses. These scams exploited immigrants' unfamiliarity with American laws, highlighted their vulnerability, and prompted efforts to provide protection and support systems.
