        Some Italians were interned as well Americans were afraid as now & DT is stoking that fear. The KKK, The Bund.... were all symptoms of that fear

        The Bund? The German-American Bund? This was a group of primarily recent German immigrants who supported Hitler in Europe. Many of these whackjobs ended up being detained themselves during WWII.

        By the mid to late 1930s the Bund were more than just German immigrants, but you're correct around the turn of the 18th-19th century the Bund was primarily an immigrant group. February 20, 1939 Madison Square Gardenpic.twitter.com/8v454KKMTH

        My grandfather, a first generation German immigrant, was approached about joining the Bund in the late 30s. He was proud of his German heritage (though thankfully he wasn’t enticed to join), but he told me their entire recruitment was based on “Germans for Germany”

        Amazing. Appears they are going through the legal process.

        there were very few laws about immigration at the time! the concept of "illegal immigration" didn't really exist until after 1924...I highly recommend using NYC's Tenement Museum as a resource for understanding immigration of the 19th and early 20th century

        My Italian Grandmother arrived at Ellis Island in 1923 with her 4 children — my Dad being the youngest at 3 1/2! Thank God they weren’t separated! Thank you, Michael, for these beautiful and historic pictures!

        Other than Native Americans, we are all immigrants. It used to be something we all acknowledged. America, the melting pot, we learned in school...

        This could have been my grandfather. Making courageous and difficult decisions to better his family. The American Dream. Same decisions being made 100 years later by Central and South Americans. What are we Doing? Stand up people!

        And they were insulted, exploited, and villified. And now their grandkids are doing the same to the newest wave of immigrants. We've got ours...
