What happened to the pattern of immigration to the United States, after 1890? why did this lead to the need for medical inspection of immigrants? ​

In the late 1800s, people in many parts of the world decided to leave their homes and immigrate to the United States. Fleeing crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine, many came to the U. S. because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity.

New immigrants from southern and eastern Europe came to work in the industrialized factories. The old immigrants frequantly settled outside cities and became farmers. Living conditions in the American cities for the immigrants was dreadful.

After certain states passed immigration laws following the Civil War, the Supreme Court in 1875 declared regulation of immigration a federal responsibility. Thus, as the number of immigrants rose in the 1880s and economic conditions in some areas worsened, Congress began to pass immigration legislation.
