everyone in the americas is the descendant of immigrants, unless you are a first-generation immigrant. the so-called "native americans" and "first citizens" as well as the "pre-columbian indians" migrated across a land-bridge between alaska and siberia (across what is now the Bering Strait) between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago.

Both continents of the Americas were fully populated by Native Americans in 1492.  Columbus was only the first Spaniard to find the New World.  The Vikings had settled for a short time in Newfoundland in the 11th century.

It was a World's Fair, and it was in Chicago.  There've been a number of books about it - "Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson is a good one to start with.

The National Park Service (which runs the sites now) says\n"Prior to 1890, the individual states (rather than the Federal government) regulated immigration into the United States. CASTLE GARDEN in the Battery (originally known as CASTLE CLINTON) served as the New York State immigration station from 1855 to 1890 and approximately eight million immigrants, mostly from Northern and Western Europe, passed through its doors. These early immigrants came from nations such as England, Ireland, Germany and the Scandinavian countries and constituted the first large wave of immigrants that settled and populated the United States. Throughout the 1800's and intensifying in the latter half of the 19th century, ensuing political instability, restrictive religious laws and deteriorating economic conditions in Europe began to fuel the largest mass human migration in the history of the world. It soon became apparent that Castle Garden was ill-equipped and unprepared to handle the growing numbers of immigrants arriving yearly. Unfortunately compounding the problems of the small facility were the corruption and incompetence found to be commonplace at Castle Garden. The Federal government intervened and constructed a new Federally-operated immigration station on Ellis Island. While the new immigration station on Ellis Island was under construction, the Barge Office at the Battery was used for the processing of immigrants."

This was before the Americas were civilized, times change.\nDon't try to use some back in the day nonsense to justify illegal immigrants.\n\nMy paternal grandparents came here legally. Not everyone can trace their relatives from the first settlers, those people are rare.

Technically there is no such thing as a Native American.  The Native American Immigrated here too just long before the Europeans Discovered the Americas....  \n\nScience has actually traced the roots of Native Americans back to Asia.  They crossed the Land Bridge at the Berring Straight  about 3 to 4 thousand years ago.

Well, there were a large number of Irish immigrants to the United States, but most of them came between 1840-1860.\nhttp://memory.loc.gov/learn/features/immig/irish2.html\n\nThe part about his coming to America to flee legal problems - many, many people did.\n\nBars and bare knuckle wrestling would have been common in Boston in the 1880s and 1890s. The kind of boss played by Colm Meaney would have been common as well (JFK's grandfather was just that sort of boss)\n\nIrish in America:\nhttp://xroads.virginia.edu/~ug03/omara-alwala/IrishKennedys.html\n\nHere are several sites on the Oklahoma Land Rush:\nhttp://www.library.cornell.edu/Reps/DOCS/landrush.htm\nhttp://www.pan-tex.net/usr/l/drlocke/\nhttp://www.rit.edu/~kecncp/Courses/Materials/FarAndAway/Research/okla-lr.htm
