Here’s the determination for each reason for immigration:

1. Work in California goldfields: Chinese
   (This reason primarily applied to Chinese immigrants who came during the Gold Rush.)

2. Future economic prosperity: Both
   (Both Irish and Chinese immigrants were seeking better economic opportunities.)

3. Widespread famine due to the loss of a staple crop: Irish
   (This specifically refers to the Great Famine in Ireland that drove many Irish to emigrate.)
