As long as there's been America, there's been immigration. And panic that immigration would bring America's demise.

MY Great-Grandfather emigrated to America in 1912, he was half German, half Russian.
He lived here in the US for about 60 years, never learned English, stayed in "enclaves" of German-speaking people here in Wisconsin.

But he was white.

... the ones who started arriving in 1607.

That's North America only. South America and the Caribbean were ruined much earlier.
