In both the 1840s and 1850s and present day, most immigrants sought better economic opportunities. However, the other options are incorrect. In the 1840s and 1850s, most immigrants were from Europe, not Mexico, and while religious persecution may have been a motive for some, it was not the primary reason for immigration. Additionally, the primary group to arrive in America during this time period was not children, but rather young adults and families.
