Starting from the early 1800's to the mid 1900's, the immigrants came to America for variety of reasons; they faced many hardship and hostility against them from the nativist. When the immigration began (from the early 1800's), come's the majority of immigrants: the Northern and western Europeans, also with small groups of Asians. These mass immigrations were considered the old immigration, while the new immigrations began when the sources of the immigration shifted vastly (1880-1900). The increased immigrants came from the Eastern and southern European countries, while also the Asian population increased slightly (mostly the Chinese). Once the immigrants arrived on U.S. soil, they had to pass many examinations, tests, and interrogation. These inspections alarmed many immigrants, and many were treated somewhat inaccurately and strangely. For example, while foreign men were asked to strip down for physical inspection, the foreign women were being bared naked in public, causing alarms to their fellow people. This caused many discomfort

After the inspection and if they made pass the inspection, the cities they would settle down would be sort of disappointing to them. to make more money for their families. This would be the beginning of series of hardship they would face. From Ireland, the immigrants came because of the potato farms faced the epidemic of the deadly potato blight disease. This couldn't have been done without courage, determination, and will of steel.
