Many Americans opposed Jewish Immigration during the early 20th century due to a combination of nativism, economic fears, and anti-Semitic sentiments. They believed that immigrants would compete for jobs, drive down wages, and threaten American cultural values. Additionally, longstanding prejudices against Jews fueled discriminatory attitudes, leading to restrictive immigration policies and social exclusion. This climate of intolerance was exacerbated by the economic challenges of the Great Depression and the rise of isolationist sentiments.
