The Jewish immigration history America started in 1860. In this year 200,000 German Jews immigrated to USA. From 1882 to 1914, 2 million Jews immigrated from eastern Europe to USA. The Jewish immigration in the years 1882-1914 changed the Jews history. It created new Jewish centers, decreased the Jewish numbers in Europe and made new religious-culture trends in the Jewish people.
Some Jews didn't want to immigrate. The orthodox Jews were afraid that they will not be able to remain Jews and they will not be able to eat kosher food. Many Jews thought that they must stay in Russia and fight for their rights. Others thought that they betray they homeland Russia. Most of the Jews were for the immigration. Even the educated Jews, that first were against the immigration, joined and immigrated to USA.

OTHER IMMIGRANTS IN THE USA by Roman Mukhordykh
From 1861 to 1915 from the Russian Empire had left about 4.6 million, of which approximately 40-45% moved to the United States. According to U.S. Census 1910, America's population 1.7 million immigrants from Russia. According to various estimates, from 1910 to 1917, the first in the United States resettled more than 300 thousand Russian citizens. However, about 80% of immigrants were Jews, Poles, Germans, Finns, Ukrainians. Strictly on the Russian themselves accounted for only 20% of the migration, or about 350-400 thousand people.
The difference is colossal. I have studied immigrants 1970-1980. These people were leaving forever, so they tore up the personal ties with Russia. Yes, there were those who left the Soviet family, there were some relationships, but these people have built their lives on that will live in the U.S.. That is, the more value they have given to acculturation. They laid emphasis on learning English, to work on the cultural life and to ensure that their children were as much as possible tightly integrated into American society.
People who came to the U.S. after the Soviet collapse, enormously different from previous waves of immigrants. They keep a tight relationship with Russia. Quite often they say "home," referring to Russia. They regularly travel to Russia, signed in the Russian press, watch Russian television, on some lively meetings to discuss political life in Russia, are interested in the election results, etc. They are making investments in Russia, bought it home ... Too many take their children to nurseries and kindergartens where instruction is in Russian only. I know many children who have additional learning mathematics at the Russian teachers, because many Russian believe that the United States this is a big problem. This wave of emigrants go to concerts, touring Russian artists, watching Russian movies and soap operas, etc. In general, they are much more interested in cultural, political and economic life in Russia
