- Abstract:
The article suggests the United States' reaction to illegal Mexican immigration is part of a history of xenophobic opinion and nativism. Immigration opponent Benjamin Franklin's comments on eighteenth-century Germans in Pennsylvania, the angst over the influx of Irish-Catholics fleeing the potato famine, and the reaction against Chinese immigration in California are discussed. The book "Death of the West," by Pat Buchanan, is referenced.
