Why did the US see an increase in immigration What were the reactions to immigrants?

There has always been immigrants into the United States. At various times there were different reasons why people came. In the 1860's the Irish potato famine resulted in more Irish entering the United States. The civil war armies was 60% were young Irish men recruited as they came off ships. In the late 1800's there was the Chinese exclusion act that didn't allow Chinese immigration for 10 years and in 1920 an immigration law was passed that only allowed 2% of immigrants to enter. The number was based on the total population in the United States. So, as you can see this is not a new issue and it depends on the time frame.
