Answer 1

Both the writer of 'Memorial against Non-English Immigration' and the Swiss-German who wrote a letter home in 1769 might have common ground in advocating for immigration restrictions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The writer of 'Memorial against Non-English Immigration' and the Swiss-German who wrote a letter home in 1769 might have common ground in that both advocated for immigration restrictions.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the American Protective Association and the Immigration Restriction League were formed by nativists who opposed immigration from nonwhite countries. Their campaigns targeted Jewish and Catholic migrants. They sought to implement literacy tests and restrict immigration based on an immigrant's native language.
