Answer:
French (and Irish?) immigrants.
Explanation:
The alien laws were aimed at French (and Irish immigrants, who were mostly considered pro-French). The Alien and Sedition acts gave more powers to the government to deport foreigners and make it harder for new immigrants to vote. They also restricted the activities of foreign residents in the country, also limiting their freedom of speech and press. This was mainly because of widespread fear of an imminent war between America and France.

The pressing issues in the 1980s revolved around climate change. Carbon emissions was too high that it made an impact with the change in the world's temperature. The high number of industries created products and emitted harmful elements in the air that made fast destruction of the atmosphere through air pollution in the ozone layer.
Trade Restriactions would be a good title. Embargoes limit and restrict trade between nations, Quotas limit the quantity of goods being traded, Subsidies make certain goods cheaper to produce in foreign markets, and a Teriff is a tax put on imports and exports.
