What I have learned

After researching about Immigration and about the Anti-Immigration Movement as a whole, I now have a better understanding on how different groups of people were treated when trying to come into the United States and start a new life for themselves. People immigrated here so that they could live in peace and harmony in a new location where they could make a new start, but members of the Anti-Immigration Movement made this very difficult for them. Members would try to create special taxations on the states for every immigrant that they allowed into the country through that specific state. Also, the Anti-Immigration members devoted their lives to stopping immigration entirely, by trying to pass specific laws that limited the amount of people allowed into the United States, and that limited the types of people that were allowed into the country. In addition to making it nearly impossible for people to immigrate to the U.S., memebers would also force those who immigrated here to "Americanize" themselves and change to their beliefs/ethnic backgrounds to ones that were more accepted be others. The Anti-Immigration Movement was designed to discriminate against those who were interested in immigrating to the United States, and the members did all that was in their power to put a stop to immigration alltogether. The question that still remains with me is, Who were the major leaders of this movement?
