What happened to most immigrants when they arrived at ellis island?

b.) they were released into the united states within hours.
c.) they were imprisoned, quarantined, or both.

The correct answer is B.) They were released into the United States within hours. East coast had it easy and people would wait for hours but would eventually usually enter the country since there was over 80% success rate of entering. Issues were found with those immigrating to the west coast.
