Hoovervilles were infamous shanty towns that developed during the Great Depression if the 1920's.

Poorly built housing, sometimes encroaching private and public land, was a necessity for families who had lost everything. 

As a lot of these people were work-class and had lost their jobs, there was a general resentment towards all kinds of immigrants to the country who were seen as 'stealing jobs'.
