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?

Poorly. There was already a lot of unrest because US citizens believed immigrants were stealing their jobs. As more and more came, they grew more and more bitter. Plus everyone was basically racist back then, and the KKK had a much stronger political influence. They were thought of as second-rate citizens.
