This film documents the influence of eugenics on the U.S. immigration policies then and now. It reconstructs the medical and mental examination of "aliens" at Ellis Island, designed to exclude the "inferior stock" from Southern and Eastern Europe, and speaks of the social agenda of race purification to create a Master Race in the U.S. through selection, sterilization, and elimination.
