Josiah Strong associated several problems with immigrants, particularly focusing on the perceived threat they posed to American society and values. He believed that immigrants, especially from non-Protestant backgrounds, could undermine the cultural and moral fabric of the nation. Strong argued that the influx of immigrants would lead to social unrest, economic competition, and a dilution of American identity, which he viewed as rooted in Protestantism. His views reflected broader nativist sentiments of the time, emphasizing a fear of cultural and demographic changes.
