Why did immigrants come to the United States?

They came to the United States to find better jobs and higher wages.  If it was not for them we could be living in a low wage area and noone could fight against it.  We also have to consider that when they worked in the factories they had no ventalation.  This means they would have to become very ill or sick and would have to fight through the illness and get back to work; they could not get time off for being sick like today we can.  When they had to do this many workers died from this because their boss would not let them off.  Then they came and protested about this and finally the boss gave in to let the sick workers off for a few days to get better and this mean't that they had to make a lower wage then the ones that were there everyday. The immigrants came from Spain, France, and alot more.
