FILE - In this Dec. 29, 1965 file photo, passengers disembark from the Polish ship M.S. Batory, the first immigrant ship to dock in Boston in 20 years, as others wait for clearance on the deck. Some 450 immigrants from Iron Curtain countries and 200 tourists were aboard the vessel when it docked Dec. 29, 1965. Most of the immigrants are bound for Detroit and Chicago. Immigration to the U.S. has come in swells and dips over the past two-plus centuries, driven by shifts in U.S. policy, the mood in the country and world events. Labor shortages, racial tension, economic forces, religious prejudice and national security concerns all fit into the picture. (AP Photo/Bill Chaplis, File)
