Question

any native-born Americans wanted to restrict immigration to the United States in the late 1800s. Which statement does not describe a reason they gave? A. They pointed out that their jobs could be taken by immigrants who didn't object to lower pay. B. They said there was no more room in the country to take in more immigrants. C. They believed that immigrants who looked different or spoke a foreign language would never fit in. D. They objected to paying for social services for immigrants.

Answer 1

"B. They said there was no more room in the country to take in more immigrants" was generally not a reason given by anti-immigration advocates, since the nation was still expanding so this would be a futile argument.
