Fake sciences claimed that whites were smarter and more capable than other races.
Europeans were referred to as "new immigrants" primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when a significant wave of migrants arrived in the United States from Southern and Eastern Europe. This influx contrasted with earlier waves of immigrants from Northern and Western Europe, leading to the distinction. The term reflected not only their different national origins but also cultural, religious, and social differences, which often sparked nativist sentiments among established populations. As a result, new immigrants faced unique challenges in assimilation and acceptance within American society.

Nativism would affect immigrants because of bias and prejudice. Nativism refers to a bias that inhabitants had toward people that were not Protestant or white.
The new immigration laws passed in the 1920s, such as the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 and the Immigration Act of 1924 (National Origins Act), were implemented to restrict and limit the number of immigrants entering the United States. These laws were largely driven by nativist sentiments, economic concerns, and fears of losing traditional American values due to the influx of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe. The laws favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe while severely limiting immigration from other regions.
Immigrants from southern and eastern Europe who formed a recognizable wave of immigration from the 1880s until 1924, in contrast to the wave of immigrants from western Europe who had come before them. These new immigrants congregated in ethnic urban neighborhoods, where they worried many native-born Americans, some of whom responded with nativist anti-immigrant campaigns and others of whom introduced urban reforms to help immigrants assimilate.
Governments implemented immigration restrictions and quotas, as well as assimilation policies to manage the influx of immigrants. Social reactions included nativist movements, discrimination, and instances of xenophobia towards immigrants. However, there were also efforts to provide support and assistance to help immigrants integrate into their new societies.
