| '''Ellis Island''' was a federal enclave in [[New York City]] and [[Wikipedia:Jersey City|Jersey City]],<ref>[http://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/523/767/ ''New Jersey v. New York'', 532 U.S. 767 (1998)]</ref> that served as the [[United States]]' busiest immigrant inspection station from [[1892]] until [[1954]]. It was a gateway for an estimated twelve million immigrants entering the country. It was located half of a mile from the [[Statue of Liberty]]'s Liberty [''formerly Bedloe's''] Island.
| | Ellis Island''' was an island in [[New York City]]. In [[1892]], after [[Jack Harkness]] got into a fight at the immigration centre there, a man shot him though the heart. This caused his second death and proved to him he could not die. ([[TV]]: ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'') |

| == Behind the scenes ==
| |
| Neither United States nationals nor tourists with return passage were processed at Ellis Island; the island was strictly an immigration centre. Speaking fluent English in an American accent, Jack Harkness would have been assumed to be an American without a second thought, even without a passport. The United States had no passport requirements for its nationals until late 1941, exclusive of certain wartime periods.
