How did the Irish immigrate to us?

Answer 1

Actually they were immigrants because they were coming to the U.S. (the person is described as an emigrant by the country they leave). Irish immigrants usually entered the U.S. through Ellis Island, off the coast of N.Y. City

Answer 2

The Irish immigrated to California because of the potato famine.

--

I can't really answer this question unless you give a time period, but many Irish moved to the United States during the Potato Famine. New York and San Fransisco would have had large immigrant populations, and its reasonable to assume that many immigrants came to California during the Gold Rush in 1849. There were also many Irish workers who helped build the Continental Railroad. Also, Many moved to New Zealand, because the climate and scenery reminded them of Ireland.

Answer 3

Boston MA has the highest Immigration rate. The people who immigrated came through Elise Island in New York. that's geographically very close to Massachusetts, if you have a uS map in front of you. The population is very spread out in America today so there's probably Irish in every state.MA just has the biggest count. I hope that helps :D

Answer 4

Since so many people were dying of lack of food caused by the Potato Famine, many Irish immigrants came to the United States.
