Immigrants, particularly from Ireland, Germany, Russia.. (Europe and Asia basically) came to America to escape their current economic situation back in their home land, wanted religious freedom, or sought greater opportunity in America. For example, the Irish came because of a horrible virus that infected their potato crop and wiped out their staple food. Germans came to escape their crumbling economy.
