Why did immigrants sometimes face discrmination

Immigrants sometimes faced discrimination because they were seen as lower human beings and people always assumed that they were illegal.

Back In the day, ideas of racism and elitism were far more popular than they are now. This did not bode well when many immigrants came from families of color. So many people simply thought of them as inferior humans. There was also a popular yet unsound thought within Americans a while back that most people that were immigrants must be illegal, which only further led to discrimination towards immigrants, whether they were illegal or not.

Today, though racism and elitism are now generally shunned upon by society, Many Americans are skeptical of immigrants due to the influence of Donald Trump ( -_-)

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
