Summary	"Many of us like to think of the United States as a nation of immigrants. But the phrase 'a nation of immigrants' only dates from the mid-twentieth century. As the historian Erika Lee argues, an intense fear of strangers based on their race, religion, ethnicity, or national origin has always been at the heart of the American project.
