There would have been at minimum a much less pronounced Great Migration north of African Americans. After all, why would northern employers want to hire cheap, easily exploited blacks if they could still hire cheap, easily exploited whites in the form of newly arrived immigrants?

Incidentally, Eastern European immigrant racism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was in part due to the same causes as Irish immigrant racism in the mid 19th century: economics. "They'll take our jobs" is hardly anything new to the Trump-era.
