Actually during the Ford era, we went on an anti-immigration phase.
Assuming the Ford era began in 1900, we could say this was towards the end of the Ford era. I guess we had overdone on immigration and started regretting it.

Why should we "assume"? By Ford era, I'm assuming you meant his introduction of assembly line and mass production right? That started in 1913.

Can we? You say ford era. What time period are you referring to? Because from 1900 to 1924, the US was highly anti-immigrant.
> I guess we had overdone on immigration and started regretting it.
I guess? We've always been anti-immigrant as a nation. There really wasn't a time when immigrants were welcome in the US.
China on the other hand still has plenty of workers to fill its mills.
