Fear of terrorism has become particularly rampant since the tragic events of 9/11. However, concern about where the allegiances of various ethnic and immigrant groups lie has been present for as long as there has been immigration. The apprehension regarding immigrant loyalty is not so much to do with the fact that immigrants have dual loyalties, but rather with the fear that immigrants may, in fact, be more loyal to their homeland or country of origin than they are to their country of settlement.
