The statement is false. The Potato Famine in Ireland in the mid-1800s is considered a "push" factor that caused people to migrate to the U.S., as it forced many Irish people to leave their homes due to starvation and economic hardship. "Pull" factors are those that attract people to a new location, such as job opportunities or better living conditions.
