I don't see anything like that on the websites saveellisisland.org and weareellisisland.org.

What's there seems pretty harmless. Was the website changed or what?

Not all of the people on the site are celebrities and not all of them will help the cause. Are we any better off because Kristin Cavallari lives here? Is she?

I guess there's a problem with "we" and "our", but it doesn't necessarily mean "all of us." It can mean just a group or part of our population.

Ellis Island, I was told growing up, was for the people who had money. The rest of us got as far as Halifax and had to take a tug down the coast.

Canada has opened an immigration museum in Halifax recently. There website says "Our Story Begins Here." That should make for some controversy as well.

Google the words Ellis Island. When the google search comes up you will see a link for We are Ellis Island. In the description for that website it says, “Save This Great National Monument.
Help Preserve America’s Birthplace.”
