The political bosses helped immigrants by providing jobs on the public payroll, getting housing for new arrivals, giving the needy gifts of food and clothing, patching up minor scrapes with the law, and helping schools, parks, and hospitals get built in immigrant neighborhoods. The bosses only did these things so the immigrants would vote for them and their party.
