It depends what time period we're talking about, but for the most part, Americans weren't very welcoming towards immigrants. They tended to get the worst jobs, worst housing, etc. Because of this, the immigrants would form a support system throughout their nationalities and help each other out. However, there were systems like the Hull House (created by Jane Addams) to help immigrants gain jobs, learn English, etc.
