Immigrants came because there was cheaper, faster and better transportation available to them. The Jewish came because of the Russian persecution of them. Also, America was nicknamed the "golden land" so that lured a bunch of immigrants. Railroad companies and steamship companies also wanted more workers and customers so they would woo potential immigrants by having friends and relatives send letters describing how wonderful it was.
