Think about the legislation passed to control the number of immigrants to the country and the groups that expressed anti-immigrant sentiment. What do you think the founding fathers would have said about the anti-immigrant sentiment of the late eighteenth century? Why do you think they would have felt that way? Be sure to cite specific examples to support your opinion.

The Founding Fathers would surely have spoken against anti-immigrant sentiment. They wrote the Constitution to protect everyone's rights including immigrants. America is an immigrant country; the only true natives are the Native Americans. We were all immigrants once.
