The “Know Nothings” was a U.S. political party, popular in
the 1850s. Specifically, the party was dedicated to ending the influence of
Irish Catholics, but its adherents were broadly against immigrants. The party
believed that German and Irish immigrants were more loyal to the Pope than
American political leaders. In terms of policy, they advocated for severe
restrictions on immigration and naturalization. The group was composed of Protestant
men…. Today, Donald Trump announces his intention to send 11 million undocumented
immigrants back to their “homes.” The employment implications for agriculture,
service sector, and construction are huge. See: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/08/16/donald-trump-undocumented-immigrants-have-to-go/
