The whole country was violently anti-Semitic, especially against Eastern European Jews, who "dressed funny." Also talked funny, ate funny food, and in general were inferior to "white" people. There was a tremendous backlash against immigration during the 1920s, especially when the percentage of Western European and Northern European immigrants declined and more Eastern Europeans and Southern Europeans were coming in, and this xenophobia only got worse during the Great Depression.

Economist Alvin Hansen attributed the Great Depression in large part to the drop in birth rates that followed the draconian immigration policies of the early 1920's.

Looking at Japan and Europe these days, he wasn't far off the mark. A decline in birth rates and an aging population are not good for the economy.
