We (Americans then and now) have always hated immigrants.
The nations of the First Peoples fought each other when moving on each other's territory and taking possession of each others' resources.
No one had any desire for the Azteca as neighbors, as history proved out. The Iroquois and the Comanche also fit that bill. The Pequots, with good reason, hated the immigrant Pilgrims, who killed them and sent the survivors as slaves to the West Indies. The Jews, Italians, Germans, Irish, eastern Europeans, the various peoples of Pacific and Asia and Africa -- all got it in the neck.
My great granpa was a dumb Swede and my stepdad a bohunk.
You would never know we were a nation of immigrants.
