How did the Red Scare add to natibists opposition to immigration?

The Red Scare heightened nativist opposition to Immigration by fostering fears that foreign-born individuals could harbor radical socialist or communist ideologies, which were perceived as threats to American democracy and values. This climate of suspicion led to increased calls for restrictive immigration policies and the scapegoating of immigrants, particularly those from Eastern and Southern Europe. Nativists capitalized on these fears, arguing that immigrants undermined national security and social cohesion, further entrenching a cycle of discrimination and exclusion.
