One of the main similarities between the Irish and Asian Migrations was the job opportunities. Both parties migrated to America in the hopes of finding new job opportunities, but were only able to find jobs with low wages and long hours. One of the main differences was the amount of racism that the Asians faced over the Irish. The Irish people also used potatoes as a primary food source, as it was easily obtained and nutritious. Overall, the impacts on these communities seemed to be the expansion of racism, and amount of diversity. As more Asians started to migrate to America, racism started to become more common, as the Americans viewed Asians very poorly.]]> 2021-02-23 21:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/pburkholder/uppgfb96eg2gch99/wish/1233775442 https://padlet.com/pburkholder/uppgfb96eg2gch99/wish/1233778294 Colin Devereux
While the Chinese migrated to America to obtain jobs, the Irish were attempting to evade a Famine. In America, there was a Chinese exclusion act, preventing Chines people from obtaining jobs, while the Irish were also being persecuted and ridiculed because Americans thought they were going to steal their jobs. Both cultures were considered outcasts from American society, however, there were rules enforced to prevent Chinese people from getting jobs while the Irish were just excluded from the community. ]]> 2021-02-23 21:11:52 UTC https://padlet.com/pburkholder/uppgfb96eg2gch99/wish/1233778294 https://padlet.com/pburkholder/uppgfb96eg2gch99/wish/1233791381 Ryan Liddy

The Irish and Asians had similar motivations for their migration too America as both were coming to America in search of work. Although both groups had the same intentions the Asians were faced with more restrictions when arriving to America. They were faced with racism and laws were formed where Asians were barred from coming directly to America. Because of these laws, the Asians had first arrived to places in North America, Mainly Canada, and had gradually worked their ways through the borders until they reach south America. The impacts these migrations had carried were both a positive thing as well as a negative thing. With more people came more diversity but also racism.]]> 2021-02-23 21:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pburkholder/uppgfb96eg2gch99/wish/1233797595 https://padlet.com/pburkholder/uppgfb96eg2gch99/wish/1233799639 Eugene Kim
People in Ireland migrated to America because of its potato famine. Because Irish people were in poverty, potatoes became the main source of food. When potatoes go wrong, they are not able to be restored. In the 19th century, the potato famine struck. Potatoes were in horrible conditions, and diseases started to spread. The people started to move to the United States. They moved to east coastal areas, such as Boston, New York. People lived in poor conditions and had to work long hours. In East Asia, work was unable to be found. So, people went to the United States to find jobs and opportunities. However, the U.S. did not want any immigrants, so they were pushed to Canada, Mexico, and the border states. People took jobs from the north and southern borders of America. East Asian people face a lot of racism and discrimination. The wages were also low, and people had to work a lot to stay there. The impacts of these communities were that there were more racial and ethnic diversity in the United States, but racism grew at the same time.]]> 2021-02-23 21:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/pburkholder/uppgfb96eg2gch99/wish/1233799639 https://padlet.com/pburkholder/uppgfb96eg2gch99/wish/1233804516 Some similarities and Differences between t he Irish and Asian were that they travel to America for better lives. The both suffered at first in the Americas but in different ways. For example the Irish faced low paying jobs and long hrs while the Asian's faced lots of racism.

On the other hand the when the East Asians migrated over they experienced extreme racism and still do to this day.

The Irish were forced out because of a famine. Many traveled to North America were they faced discrimination. Then they protest for better work conditions after the civil war, allowing for better opportunities for the future Irish immigrants coming to America. The Asian migrants were not forced from their homeland, rather they were making access routes from Asia to the Americas. However, because of the mass number of migrants, the U.S. created restrictions that denied access into the country for many Asian migrants. Canda, Mexico, and some South American countries created similar restriction to those that the U.S. ahd, causing the migrants to travel from country to county until they were accepted. These restrictions created Anti-Asian thinking which would not benefit the Asian community. They were rejected, discouraged, and like the Irish, discriminated against. ]]> 2021-02-23 21:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pburkholder/uppgfb96eg2gch99/wish/1233809435 https://padlet.com/pburkholder/uppgfb96eg2gch99/wish/1233820812 Andres Chavez

Asian immigrants came to the US for a better life but they mostly settled in the west coast and they would stay there in till they were banned from the united states so they had to move through countrys like Canada to get to the US.

Both the Chinese and Irish migrated to the United States through Canada in search for new opportunities. A few thousand South Asian labor workers migrated to Canada and were spread across the Untied States by 1907.

1.5 million Irish moved to America because of poverty and the potato famine. Ireland was not industrialized so most people were poor. 

Chinese and Asians migrated to america; american workers did not like it because they took jobs. Moved to Canada (illegally) then moved to south america (illegally). The USA government made Chinese and Asian immigration to America completely illegal.
