Progressives held contrasting ideas about how best to address immigrant-related issues, especially the extent to which their continued influx would exacerbate a host of problems. Some, like Wilson, saw immigrants as valuable additions to the United States, and emphasized the need to assimilate them properly so that they would come to embody “American” values and practices. Others believed that immigrants contributed disproportionately to social ills, a propensity that justified their exclusion. To these restrictionists, the imposition of more effective ways to reduce the number of immigrants and improve the quality of those allowed in would contribute to national rectification. Businesses in need of immigrant laborers sought ways to allay the restrictionists' fears, but new labor conflicts involving foreign-born women and men complicated their efforts. Two years after the 1912 election, the outbreak of war in Europe exacerbated domestic concerns about the loyalty of foreign-born residents, further complicating America's “immigration problem.”","PeriodicalId":269093,"journal":{"name":"Robber Barons and Wretched Refuse","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132494584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reaction to the Molly Maguires and the Great Railroad Strike had established the practice of blaming immigrants and associated foreign ideologies for the industrial era's loss of workplace harmony, but the stigma did not prevent employers from fulfilling their growing labor needs by hiring large numbers of alien workers. Those recruited regularly included strikebreakers whose presence angered established workers. Through the early 1880s, laborers—not capitalists—tended to harbor animosity toward recent arrivals. When the Haymarket affair renewed and intensified fears of working-class violence, employers resorted to the pattern of implicating the immigrants who labored at their mills, mines, and factories, even as they continued to employ them.","PeriodicalId":269093,"journal":{"name":"Robber Barons and Wretched Refuse","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126441221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
