Substantial Ottoman Immigration to the US.

How can we get this to occur, so that they are a fairly sizeable minority today? They can be from anywhere in the empire. They can be Turks, Arabs, Jews, Armenians, Caucasians, Albanians, Greeks, Bosniaks, you name it.

Extra points for non-Christians.

I think that Christian minorities from the OE, especially Armenians and Christian Arabs, migrated in fair numbers to the Americas, including the US, in OTL. Actually most Arab immigrants went to Brazil and Argentina, where the represent sizeable communities today. Since a quite good number of them belonged to the Catholic Church (albeit of the Oriental rites) it seems quite logical. However, just worsen the economic situation in the OE.
I guess that a more favorable stance in the US vis-vis this groups of immigrants would help, epsecially for the non-Christian ones. I suppose that they weren't particularly desired, though actually I don't know.
If you want them of the proportional size they are in Argentina, well, it may be difficult.
