But that's not what this is about. America has a long history of blaming immigrant populations for the social ills of the day. Ben Franklin raged against German immigrants, and Alexander Hamilton supported the Alien and Sedition Acts, which changed the waiting period for citizenship from 5 years to 14 years.
