US History: Immigrants and Immigration

The first question Q1 is: Focusing on either westward expansion or war, how did this impact immigrants living in and coming to the United States? You may include existing populations as immigrants even though they did not move into the United States but rather the US moved over them (for example, Mexican populations in Texas and California).

The second question Q2 is: How did xenophobia emerge at the turn-of-the-twentieth century? Your answer may include discussion of xenophobia on society, culture, and/or legislation.

It is like two short essays. One essay is about 135 words. The two essays have no interconnection.
