The first major Immigration from Asia were the people that we refer to as Native Americans. A large increase in the Chinese population of the US resulted from the California Gold Rush of the 1850s. Chinese immigrants came with the dream of finding gold but found steady work as laborers, at first working for the miners and prospectors and operating businesses that supported them. They were a labor force already in place and available when building the transcontinental railroad began in the 1860s. Many Chinese arrived to work for and operate businesses to support the Chinese building the railroads.
