Have Democrats Always Been the "Immigrant Party?"

[Vice President Christian Man]

While they've been less xenophobic and nativist as a whole, it would be an oversimplification to claim they've always been the "Immigrant Party". The politicians representing the Jim Crow South was an outlier in this regard for obvious reasons, although labor groups including the AFL were strong supporters of the 1924 immigration ban for economic reasons. You also had many Republican's who supported religious and communist-fleeing refugees particularly during the Cold War, although there have been fewer Republican's who have advocated for this since the rise of the Tea Party and its aftermath.
