which of these statements best accounts for chinese immigration to the united states in the late 1800s? chinese immigrants wanted to establish their own railroads. chinese immigrants wanted to send money to their families. chinese immigrants wanted to escape religious persecution. chinese immigrants wanted to settle in the pearl river delta.

Explanation:

In the late 1800s, many Chinese immigrants came to the US for economic reasons, often aiming to earn money to send back to their families in China. They did not come to establish their own railroads (railroads were mostly built by companies), religious persecution was not a main - driving factor, and the Pearl River Delta is in China, not a destination in the US for these immigrants.

Answer:

Chinese immigrants wanted to send money to their families.
