Although 5,000 was the maximum numbers of people allowed to go through Ellis Island per day, sometimes as many as 15,000 were put ashore. Many immigration officials grew hardened and uncaring as they processed thousands of people a day. Immigrants became fearful they would be separated from the rest of their family or sent back to their home country. They needed someone who would offer care and concern for their well-being. They found that someone in Fiorello H. LaGuardia. He took a job as an interpreter on Ellis Island during the day to pay his way through law school at night. He was no stranger to the government’s inner workings on immigration policy; he had worked for the U.S. Consular Service in three cities in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, organizing the emigration process. Originally, LaGuardia was hired to handle Italian immigrants, but his experience and knowledge of several other languages allowed him to assist immigrants from many countries.

  • Fiorello H. La Guardia, a Model Mayor? 2017

    Fiorello H. La Guardia, a Model Mayor? 2017

    Fiorello H. La Guardia, A Model Mayor? 2017 From 1934 to 1945, Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia transformed New York through determined leadership and tireless resolve, forging a relationship with the federal government that rejuvenated the city during the Great Depression. For his ability to marshal political and financial resources to realize bold ideas, he is widely considered to be New York’s best mayor. He supported projects that helped modernize the city’s infrastructure and landscape, including bridges, tunnels, reservoirs, parks, sewers, highways, airports, and housing. Never before or since did American cities have such a dedicated, dramatic, dynamic champion. Born of mixed Jewish and Catholic parentage, but raised as an Episcopalian, La Guardia has been called “the most remarkable hybrid in the history of New York City.” His lifelong reform agenda evolved from his experiences growing up on an Arizona army base where his immigrant father was a bandleader. His black Stetson hat evidenced La Guardia’s affinity for the West. But the West taught him sober lessons about the government’s neglect of Native Americans and the exploitation of workers by railroad companies. Newspaper accounts of corrupt New York City politics instilled in him a deep hatred of Tammany that, he admitted, became “almost an obsession.” La Guardia’s contempt for corruption in any form was confirmed when his father died after eating bad meat sold to the Army by dishonest merchants during the War of 1898. La Guardia’s early career shaped his views on public policy.
