Immigration takes place in many parts of the world. Currently Italy and Greece are receiving many immigrants from North Africa.With regards to the United States, it became "home" for millions of immigrants over the past 200 years. In the 19th century, and well into the 20th century many immigrants from Europe landed in the larger cities of the East coast of the US. There they found that, for the most part these large cities were controlled by the Democratic Party. It made sense to support this party as it was friendly to immigrants ( for the most part ) so it made commonsense to support the party that governed where many immigrants decided to stay. There were many jobs to be found in these east coast cities.

Whyb did lrish immigrants support the democratic party?

Irish immigrants supported the Democratic Party in the United States primarily due to its stance on issues that resonated with their experiences and needs. The party opposed the nativist sentiments and anti-immigrant policies prevalent in the Whig Party and other factions, which often marginalized Irish Catholics. Additionally, the Democratic Party's emphasis on social and economic opportunities aligned with the aspirations of many Irish immigrants seeking to improve their circumstances in a new country. This support helped establish a strong political identity for Irish Americans in the mid-19th century.
