\nIn 1958, then U.S. Senator JFK published \u201cA Nation of Immigrants.\u201d JFK proposed liberalizing immigration law based on his argument that the United States is a country whose population is predominantly made up of non-native people \u2013 immigrants and refugees. In \u201cAmerica for Americans,\u201d Professor Erika Lee of the University of Minnesota argued that the U.S. is also a nation of xenophobia. Throughout U.S. history, irrational fears, hatred, and hostility toward immigrants have been defining features. Germans, Irish Catholics, Chinese, Japanese, and Mexicans, etc., have had their times as targets of xenophobia. Today, some Americans fear Muslims, Latinos, Chinese (again), or just \u201crefugees.\u201d  The differentiation between \u201cwe\u201d and \u201cthem,\u201d which sociologists call \u201cothering,\u201d changes over time based on collective fear and prejudice. The phenomenon is not uniquely American but influences, if not defines the political discourse globally.
