Detailed explanation-1: -These anti-immigrant, or nativist, sentiments had many sources. They were fueled by economic competition over jobs, housing, and public services, but also by religious, cultural, and political biases. Those beliefs were often intertwined with racist views of immigrants that saw them as debased, immoral, and criminal.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nativism in the early twentieth century In reaction, some embraced nativism, prizing white Americans with older family trees over more recent immigrants and rejecting outside influences in favor of their own local customs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Increasing nativist sentiment created political movements to restrict immigration. Nativist organizations like the Immigration Restriction League and the American Protective Association advocated strongly for limiting immigration into the United States.
Detailed explanation-4: -In northern cities, which had the largest immigrant populations, nativism-a set of beliefs favoring the interests of established inhabitants against those of immigrants-emerged in the 1830s but grew to a fever pitch by the late 1840s. White, native-born Americans felt threatened by immigrants on nearly every front.
