Answer 2

Answer:

D. D.

Explanation:

Critics of the "New Immigration" disagreed with a minimum wage because immigrants would generally work for less in America because of their status. If minimum wage became a real thing then they would either just pay less for immigrants or hire less risky individuals. Settlement houses that were made in poor urban areas were to provide many social services for people such as daycare, education, health care, etc. This greatly helped minorities have somewhere to go.
