Chudacoff and Binder have to different approaches of how they choose to write about immigration. Chudacoff took a generalization of everything and Binder basically broke it down. Chudacoff gave lots of detail. He basically explained everything immigrants were going through and the struggles they were facing. Since the population was rising there was a lot of competition for jobs and there was always ten people waiting in line if you ever got fired. In addition to population increasing housing was going up and most of the people could barely afford to live somewhere that was below standards, so it was a huge struggle. People were crammed into neighbors and no one was up keeping it so everything was cluttered and unsanitary. A lot of people began to get sick. Eventually the government decided to step in.
Binder gives detail to the different ethnic groups of the immigrants. He focuses a lot on blacks and how they continued to suffer even when things were improving for the immigrants. He also stated that the emancipation was past. Which should’ve been a good thing for blacks but it didn’t really change much and it was somewhat ignored by the people. So the main difference between Binder and Chudacoff is that Binder focuses on blacks and slavery where as Chudacoff doesn’t really mention it.
