As Irish Immigration in America was rising due to the potato famine, a thing called nativism was occurring. Nativism was the defense of native-born people(Americans), but hostility to the foreign born(Irish). Nativists were racist and claimed that the Irish were stealing jobs from the native labor force.
So, the Native American Party(no affliction with Indians) rose up to challenge this "alien menace." There were also known as the Know-Nothings. They didn't really do much damage and subsided as the Whigs came to power. I believe no laws were passed. All this was happening during Jackson's presidency.

How did the government react to discrimination in early 1900s?
In the early 1900s, the U.S. government largely failed to address widespread discrimination, particularly against African Americans and immigrants. While the Progressive Era brought some reforms aimed at improving social conditions, systemic racism and segregation were largely entrenched. The government enacted laws, such as the Jim Crow laws in the South, which institutionalized racial discrimination. It wasn't until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s that more significant federal action was taken to combat discrimination.
