Step-by-step explanation:
What factors led to migration?
Similarly, both European and Asian immigrants traveled to the U.S. in order to escape war,poverty, diseases, or other difficulties that made living in Europe and Asia unpleasant. However, the causes for immigrants going to the U.S. was mainly for economic reasons. For example, he Irish were drawn to Eastern cities in the U.S. because of the amount of jobs available that required little skill or training. Immigrants that originated from Asia were drawn to Western cities the same reason the Irish were drawn to Eastern cities. However, Chinese emigrants arrived to California during the 1850’s to be wealthy
Where did they settle?
In 1892, Ellis Island in a New York Harbor became the main entry for immigrants from Europe. Meanwhile, immigrants originating from Asia arrived at Angel Island in San Francisco Bay. Europeans mostly settled to the Eastern part of the U.S., and came to big cities because of the amount of jobs that require very little skill available. Asian immigrants on the other hand, settled to Western U.S. for the same reasons Europeans settled in big cities in the East U.S.
What jobs were available?
Low-paying jobs were usually what Europeans and Asians competed for, which caused competition when it came to getting hired. Because of this, a law called the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in order to slow down competition of workers from China and Japan for low income jobs. Compared to European immigrants, jobs were usually unavailable for Asians in the U.S. due to them facing discrimination, and because the Chinese Exclusion Act passed in order to prevent competition for jobs.
What were their living conditions?
The conditions of Asian immigrants weren’t very great. Because Asian immigrants faced discrimination, it was very hard to be hired, and even if they managed to have a job, they would be paid less than their coworkers. Because of this, Asian immigrants would have suffered financially compared to European immigrants. However, both European and Asian immigrants worked dangerous jobs and worked in very poor conditions, and because of this they suffered poor health because they worked in dirty and dangerous factories, small shops, or mills called
sweatshops.
What difficulties did they face?
Asian immigrants had more difficulty traveling to the U.S. compared to European immigrants. This would’ve been because the U.S. favored those who migrated from Europe than Asia. And that is shown when the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Gentleman’s Act was passed. Because of these acts, Chinese emigrants had to bring counterfeit papers that proved their father was a U.S. citizen. Those who arrived at Angel’s island were held at the facility for months so they could be accepted or rejected into the U.S. Asian immigrants also faced discrimination Towards white citizens, making life harder in the U.S. Meanwhile, European immigrants faced less racism and inequality than Asian U.S. citizens. However, being accepted into being a citizen was hard for Europeans, as they would be rejected if they carried diseases or had different political beliefs, and because many immigrants from Europe traveled to the U.S. because of diseases, many were rejected.
