Immigrants were extremely important to the country all through the Civil War. When the Union began the draft in 1863, riots erupted. Many cities then encouraged immigrants to come to them so that the young men could fill the draft quotas.
Signs like 'No Irish Need Apply' next to job postings and 'No Irish' on hotels and rooming houses showed the intensity of the discrimination the immigrants faced.

The ones with complicated foreign names would be re-named in English before they'd left the customs-shed.

∙ 12y agoThis might not be quite the question you have in mind. People who come to the US and who do it following all the legal procedures are generally not treated unfairly. Everyone in the US knows, or should know, that we are a nation of immigrants and their decendants. EVERY citizen of the US has an immigrant background, even those citizens whose ancestry is native American. They may be native to the continent, but the US started out with newcomers and nothing but. I find that almost always, discussions of this situation are muddied because we fail to distinguish between immigrants who are following the rules and those who are not.
The current issue is painful but real. There are many who have crossed into the US illegally. You can use the word 'undocumented', but it means the same thing. There aren't many sovereign nations in the world where you can simply enter, and expect to receive benefits and start on a road toward citizenship, without following the rules. Now the economic situation is no secret to anyone. Many people believe that undocumented aliens are in the US at a time when citizens are struggling to find work. Some of these undocumented individuals are or are perceived to be receiving benefits that are funded by tax dollars. There is probably not much credible evidence that illegal aliens are taking large numbers of jobs from citizens, since they are for the most part taking jobs that many citizens do not want, but during this difficult time it is hard to dissuade the general public. As a result, there is a level of suspicion and mistrust. It may not be right, but it is understandable just the same.
The question can be approached from a few different angles, but there are hardened advocates in different camps. It is not going to be easily or painlessly resolved.

If the question is asking about Scandinavian immigrants to the US, they were discriminated against, but not nearly as much as other immigrants. If the question is asking about the Nazi treatment of Scandinavians in World War 2, it was hoped that they would accept the doctrine of German racial superiority and join the Nazi war effort. Some of them did, but most Norwegians and Danes sided with the Allies against the Nazis.
