Question

Can you predict how later groups of immigrants, like the Italians, the Polish, and the Jewish were treated when they came here in the 1900s?

Answer 1

The Italians, Jews, and Poles were ostracized and given work that the other, more established, groups were unwilling to do. The elite promoted disunity and discord amongst the poor, immigrants, and other commoners. The elite did this to prevent a common uprising against the massive economic gap between the richest and the poorest as well as fatal working conditions and poor quality of life. Thus these new immigrants were seen as criminals, a detriment to society, and as chasing after the jobs of previous immigrants who had already moved up the social food chain.
