Economic forces
The rise of nativist sentiment within the US during the later part of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century was definitely fueled by economic forces. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, America was industrializing at a rapid pace. This created a high demand for unskilled workers to work in factories. With this in mind, many immigrants came to America for these economic opportunities. However, nativists despised these immigrants as many were willing to work for lower wages in comparison to American born citizens. This idea that immigrants were taking jobs from immigrants fueled nativist sentiment and resulted in political action, as the US federal government created the Immigration Act of 1924.
