Anti-Immigration Movement Research Questions
I am learning about the effects that the Anti-Immigration Movement had on different groups of people who were immigrating to the United States because I want to find out about the discriminations that members of this movement generalized about people who were trying to enter the country. This will help me to understand the several restrictions and laws that members of this movement dedicated their lives to putting into action. Therefore, my question is: How did the Anti-Immigration Movement affect different groups of people immigrating to the United States?

ReplyDeleteThis is a good start but needs to be more specific. What are the different kinds of "effects" you are talking about in your question? Are people from different countries more / less likely to try to immigrate to the USA as a result of this? Why? Then, backing up a step, what were the origins of this movement - why did this anti-immigration attitude develop? ultimately. did they achieve their goal? Good luck with it.
How did the policies and regulations proposed by the Anti-Immigration Movement affect different groups of immigrants in terms of their desire to immigrate, the cultural changes necessary when they arrived, and whether they felt welcomed or rejected by the US, among other issues?
