The statement that correctly evaluates the cause of increased migration to the U.S. is:

There was overseas migration from Europe and Asia to U.S. port towns.

This reflects the historical trend during various periods when many people immigrated to the United States, particularly from Europe and Asia, often arriving at major port cities. The other statements either misrepresent the historical context or do not accurately reflect the primary causes of migration during that time.
