The best reason why the first statement is a better example of a thesis statement than the second is:

**The first statement summarizes a central idea.**

This is because the first statement captures a specific experience and emotional aspect of new immigrants arriving at Ellis Island, which can lead to a focused discussion. In contrast, the second statement is more opinion-based and generalized about the significance of Ellis Island without anchoring on a specific central theme.
