No immigrants were encouraged to vote in large numbers. To be able to vote they must have citizenship and be registered to vote.

What was the main reason that immigrants in cities became new voters in large numbers?

When immigrants have come to the United States, many ended up living in deplorable conditions, enduring poverty while they learned English and acquired job skills. In many cases, as a result of these difficult living conditions, they were mobilized by political parties (or by individual candidates) who believed the immigrants could become a loyal and highly-motivated bloc of voters. Many immigrants bought into this idea-- that living in a free country meant being able to vote, and they were excited to do so. (Other immigrants came from countries where there was no such tradition as democracy, and they did not see voting as very important.) However, more often than not, immigrants were mobilized by candidates who understood their concerns and spoke their native language. Historically, not all politicians have reached out to immigrant communities, and in fact, at some times, there was great resistance to including immigrants-- even those who were legal and trying to become citizens. But some politicians have made it a point to reach out to immigrants, promising them a voice in improving their lives or promising that once they became citizens, they could have more of a say in policies that affected them.

What was the main reason the immigrants in cities became new voters in large numbers?

Immigrants were encouraged by political machines. If you offer free rent, food, housing and medical, immigrants get used to receiving it and don't want to lose it so they vote for the party that will keep handing it to them. ~ Immigrants who want to live here and be productive know the only way is to get involved with their communities and be a positive. The American Way also includes being a community, helping with positive change and locally, regionally and federally, that means becoming a US Voter. You get your right to vote by becoming a citizen. Thus, becoming a NEW citizen is the way to get the vote, not remaining an immigrant. Votes were not bought by any of the parties for President. Either party can influence votes by decisions and promises of what they would do if chosen for office. This kind of thing goes from the smallest election with few voting to presidential votes. Some vote because of party lines. Some gauge the platform. And you get the kind of voter who decides what the candidate looked like....not looking at the issues. They had problems that political parties could help with (APEX)
