Your version of America isn't very historical. The last time we had a big backlash against immigrants was 1923. That was a backlash against swarthy people from Southern Europe, who were living together, still speaking their home language, mostly following an unusual religion (Catholicism), not assimilating, and so forth.

Basically, we're seeing the same complaint today.
