First, in Lincoln's time, there were no massive waves of immigrants from Russia or Italy or China, like there would be several decades later. During the era when he was in office, many of the immigrants came from Ireland and Germany, and they were members of the Catholic religion; America had up to that point been mostly a Protestant country, and some people, including a group called the "Know-Nothings," were very opposed to Catholics coming to the US. Lincoln, however, refused to go along with anti-Catholic prejudice, and he supported the right of those immigrants to come here.
