Boss Tweed supported immigrants primarily to secure their political loyalty and expand his power in New York City. By providing essential services, jobs, and assistance to newly arrived immigrants, he garnered their support for the Democratic Party and his Tammany Hall organization. This strategy not only helped him maintain control over local politics but also allowed him to manipulate the electoral process through voter mobilization and patronage. Ultimately, Tweed's support for immigrants was a calculated move to strengthen his political base.
