The new invention that helped poorer immigrants from eastern Europe to get to America was the invention of railroads. The reason why railroads helped poorer immigrants from Eastern Europe to get to the United States was because the immigrants that were poor couldn't afford anything fancy to get to the sea ports to sail to the U.S, so the railroads solve that. The sea ports to go to the United States was all the way in Western Europe, and Eastern Europe is really far from there, so railroads helped make the transportation a lot easier and faster from Eastern Europe to Western Europe. The railroads also made it safe when travelling.
