The Irish Potato Famine would eventually over 1.5 million Irish refugee immigrants to America. This was the first major wave of poor (and relatively unskilled) immgrants to the then-50-years-young nation. This caused a lot of tension in the Northeastern cities, where established, well-off families were remiss to begin sharing their space with droves of unfashionable, poor foreigners. Were often overcharged for horrible living conditions and underpaid for what little work they could find. Many became sick or died from diseases like Cholera - but those who ultimately survived have contributed to American culture in many lasting ways.
