Best Answer

Most immigrants coming to America prior to the 20th century were hoping to find freedom from religious persecution.

Actually, the only real Americans are native American, so even though most 'Americans' complain about immigrants, if they go back to their ancestors, they are in fact immigrants too. So the fact that immigrants come-for whatever reason, it makes the country a better place (and sorta increases the popularity)
