Way before that.

I definitely know one great-something grandfather fought in the Civil War.
As far as I could trace back through fragmentary records another was
around during the Revolutionary War. The source said he moved out in the
country since he was a Loyalist.

It wasn't their best work but Orson Welles directed a movie, 'The
Stranger' with Edward G. Robinson. Robinson is an agent hunting a Nazi war
criminal. The criminal has integrated into a small town and doesn't
trigger suspicion. Over the dinner table the criminal says Germans are a
threat to the world and the Robinson character counters saying Germans
like Marx made a positive contribution. The Nazi says that Marx was a Jew
and can't possibly a German, blowing his cover nicely.

The US wasn't all that welcoming in that era unless you were some sort of
rock star.
