Introduction
The views of immigration throughout the United States between 1865 and 1925 can be
broken into two categories. Those who welcomed incoming cultures and values thought it was
beneficial to the expansion of America and the melting pot vision. Conversely there were people,
some of them in power in Congress, who feared the influx of people would strip jobs from
Americans and harm the economy. This paper will examine each side of this issue and the
problems it caused both in the moment and through the years. I will highlight benefits and
drawbacks to each side as well as parallels between these past and current views and policies.
