The most accurate response is: They couldn’t afford to move out of the cities they arrived in.

Immigrants from southern and eastern Europe often arrived in the U.S. with limited financial resources, which made it difficult for them to move beyond urban areas. Many settled in cities where jobs were available in factories, and they lived in close-knit ethnic communities.
