Franklin was alarmed by the influx of German immigrants to Pennsylvania. The German immigrants were lacking in a liberal political tradition, the English language, and Anglo-American culture. In Paragraph 23 of the essay, Franklin wrote "why should the Palatine boors be suffered to swarm into our settlements, and by herding together establish their languages and manners to the exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our language or customs, any more than they can acquire our complexion?"[9]

They were precursors to the Hessians, who were used as auxiliaries by the British. The Battle of Trenton was fought exclusively against Hessians IIRC. These animals got it into their head that after they were done killing Americans they would settle down and stay in America

And they did

About a quarter of the British employed mercenary population stayed in the US after the war
