America's first anti-immigation laws the Alien & Sedition acts of 1798.

In John Adams Presidency the U.S had undeclared war with France in the seas. France had gone thought a revolution and divided America: between the Federalist, who wanted a closer relation between the U.S and U.K  and Jeffersonian , who were pro-French.
President Adams and Federalist congress voted and made the Alien & Sedition Act. It was four laws:
1) the Naturalization Act- change becoming a citizen from 5 years to 14 years.
2) Alien Act- to deport all that was regarded as dangerous to public peace and safety.
3) Authorized to arrest, imprison, or banish enemy aliens in time of war.
4) Sedition Act- This act provided fines and imprisonment of citzens or aliens who entered into combinations to oppose execution of national laws, formant insurrection, or to write,publish, or utter false or malicious statements about the Chief Executive, the legislature, or the government.
Now there was much outrage about these laws, in part they lead to big Jeffersonian victory in the 1800 election.
When Jefferson come to power alone with his party( the Democratic- Republican Party) three of four laws of Alien & Sedition were repealed, however, the Sedition stay on the books.
