Answer: Nativists viewed immigrants as a cultural and economic threat- This is due to the fact that many immigrants were willing to work for lower wages than American citizens.

Nativists didn't believe immigrants could adopt US cultures and values. - Many Americans feared that the nice communities developing in cities like New York would only continue to feed these immigrants "refusal" to adapt American ideas.
