When did illegal immigration become a problem in the us?
From the start. It was during our War of Independence in 1776 that the United Kingdom started importing foreign mercenaries called Hessians. From our point of view, they were not legal immigrants. From then on, the primarily English settlers complained about the Dutch and German immigrants, then later the Swedish. Hard to believe now, but those were regarded as inferior races. Later, all the North Europeans who were now here started complaining about the southern Europeans. Later, all the Europeans here complained about the Asians and Hispanics. Some Asians and Hispanics have been here so long that they now complain about others coming over, too. If I'm not mistaken, Arabs are the new ones to look down on. But give it time. By 2050, the Arabs will be fine, and we can all complain about the Aboriginal Australians coming over. I suppose a mention should be given to the Native Americans. From their perspective, the problem with illegal immigration started in 1492.
