Immigrants that came here in the mid 1800s-early 1900s were just as "unwelcomed" as they are now. Maybe more so, in some places. Sometimes other immigrants can be downright terrible to other immigrants, especially if they are wealthy. I read an article about South Asian business owners exploiting other South Asians to work as domestic servants, restaurant workers, and other low paying jobs. Many people forget who they are (or who they once were) when they come here.
