      Immigration and demographics

      In this scene from "Annie Moore - First Immigrant" Paul Linehan plays Ellis Island Commissioner Col. John B. Weber, who handed a $10 gold coin to Irish immigrant Annie Moore (played here by Norah King) upon her arrival. Linehan was inspired to write a show about Moore's story after learning she was his cousin.

      Her name is on a pub, a boat and an AI platform. But what happened to the Irish teen who arrived at Ellis Island in 1892?

      She was the first immigrant to walk through the doors at Ellis Island. More than a century later, her descendants got a surprise.
      Former U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent Raul Rodriguez, 51 and his wife Anita Rodriguez, 54, Immigration Services officer, talk about their experience in their home after the government found out that Mr. Rodriguez's U.S. brith certificate was illegitimate as he was born in Mexico on Friday, Nov. 22, 2019 in San Benito, Tex. He says that he was not aware of it until the government investigated him early this year as he was trying to get legal residency for his brother.

      Raul Rodriguez says he'll never forget the moment he realized his life was built on a lie.
