The Global Depression had a tremendous influence on the American economy, because of the strong ties between Europe and the US that linked their economies. People could no longer afford to buy goods and luxury items from the US, let alone the necessities available in their own countries. 
On another note, the US already had limits on the amount of people they would allow immigrate, the only really concentrated group of immigrants came as a result of the Irish potato famine which was isolated to Ireland, did not have a global econ impact.
