Answer:

The correct answer should be that what they could do was not useful for the employers. In the late 1800s, the US was already undergoing industrial revolution fully and random people from countries that weren't technologically developed would have to learn everything about jobs from scratch, so it was easier to hire someone who grew up around machinery
