Opinion
Because times were very tough, and foreigners added to the population, and in the eyes of the people, it was unnecessary. These days, discrimination, is still a major problem, because of American pride and a paranoid feeling that they are harmful to America. Or it is because people are racist.
Opinion
Minorities were the last hired and the first fired when jobs were scarce. There were not many social safety nets that provided assistance to families and minority families did not have the resources to save any money for a rainy day. Work projects discriminated against blacks in many cases. See related link.

What is the legacy of the Great Depression?
The major effect of the Great Depression on America was expanded government intervention into new areas of social and economic affairs and the creation of more social assistance agencies at the national level. The relationship between the national government and the people changed drastically. The government took on a greater role in the everyday social and economic lives of the people. The New Deal programs of FDR also created a liberal political alliance made up of labor unions, blacks and other ethnic and religious minorities, intellectuals, the poor, and some farmers. These groups became the backbone of the Democratic Party for decades following the Depression. The Great Depression and the New Deal measure led to the domestic programs of JFK’s New Frontier, and LBJ’s Great Society and War on Poverty.
