Detailed explanation-1: -Prior to the late 1800s, many immigrants to the U.S. were of Western or Northern European descent. In the late 1800s, a new wave of immigration began. Known as new immigrants, many of these people came from Southern and Eastern Europe, places like Italy, Poland, Greece, and Russia.
Detailed explanation-2: -The available evidence suggests that immigration leads to more innovation, a better educated workforce, greater occupational specialization, better matching of skills with jobs, and higher overall economic productivity. Immigration also has a net positive effect on combined federal, state, and local budgets.
Detailed explanation-3: -By the early 1900s, the nation’s predominant immigration flow shifted away from northern and western European nations and toward southern and eastern Europe.
Detailed explanation-4: -One important result of industrialization and immigration was the growth of cities, a process known as urbanization. Commonly, factories were located near urban areas. These businesses attracted immigrants and people moving from rural areas who were looking for employment. Cities grew at a rapid rate as a result.
