Immigrants, just entering the United States in the late 1800s, were blamed for the lack of well-paying jobs.
Even some Americans, today, blame minorities for crime, or illegal immigrants for the high cost of health care.
These immigrants then developed, with some exceptions, into the present Australian flora and fauna.
Between 1870 and 1890 over half a million free immigrants entered Siberia from Russia, and of these 80% settled in the government of Tobolsk; and between 1890 and 1905 it is estimated that something like a million and a half free immigrants entered the country.
The introduction of European immigrants dates from 1818 when a Swiss colony was located at Nova Friburgo, near Rio de Janeiro, and it was continued under the direction and with the aid of the imperial government down to the creation of the republic. Since then the state governments have assumed charge of immigration, and some of them are spending large sums in the acquisition of labourers.
The old system of locating immigrants in colonies, or colonial nuclei, which involved an enormous outlay of money with but slight benefit to the country, has been superseded by a system of locating the immigrants on the large plantations under formal contracts.
The first wagon train of 120 settlers arrived here on May 8, 1846 - and each of these first immigrants was given a town lot and ten acres of nearby farmland.
