I'll answer myself, the main goal was to reduce the power of foreign-born voters in politics. Meaning: They wanted it to count less if someone from Prussia or England or wherever voted against them. They didn't really like immigrants, they also blamed them for everything from crimes to liquor consumption.

Also, they were anti- Catholics.
