This work aims at studying the movement of immigrants in the Port of Rio de Janeiro and in the Immigrants Hostel Flores Island between the years of 1883 and 1907, relating it with the public policies which stimulated the migratory stream and the changes in the dynamic organizational of the referred hostel. The idea is to demonstrate through reports of the Department of the Agriculture, Commerce and Public Works and, subsequently the Industry, Viaduct and Public Works that the shifts in the Immigrants Entrance Number in the Brazilian territory were accompanied by migratory policies favorable or unfavorable to the coming of foreign workers. Therefore, it intends to show that the Immigrants Hostel of Flores Island was a construction integrated to the structure of the immigration movements and that, therefore, its maintenance depended on the political agenda of the Republican and Imperial government. In that sense, in 1891, after the adoption of the Federalist system, the responsibility of regarding immigration and colonization services was transferred to the states, which reduced gradually the stream of immigrants in the hostel, which made this institution lose the importance it had had in the previous decade. Only in 1907, when it faced difficulty in promoting immigration, that the central power went back to the migratory policies and the Hostel for Immigrants Hostel of Flores Island started blossoming.
