Summary and Definition of Nativism in America

Summary and Definition: Nativism in America refers to the preference for established US residents, as opposed to foreigners or "others" considered to be outsiders and the opposition to immigration. The belief in Nativism was a prejudicial attitude towards immigrants based on their national origin, their ethnic background, their race or religion. The doctrine of Nativism in America resulted in a widespread attitude that rejected alien persons, or culture, and led to xenophobia and new, stringent laws being passed to restrict immigration.

Nativism is a political stream that promotes the interests and rights of national population over immigrants. It supports the establishment of measures to control (to block) immigration flows.

Such feelings against imigration are justified by nativists due to the amount of money that they cost to the public agencies, because they steal jobs that should pertain to domestic citizens, or because they are condenmed to isolation, as they do not know the language or customs of their home country.

The Social Contract and Government

The fundamental basis for government and law in this system is the concept of the social contract, according to which human beings begin as individuals in a state of nature, and create a society by establishing a contract whereby they agree to live together in harmony for their mutual benefit, after which they are said to live in a state of society. This contract involves the retaining of certain natural rights, an acceptance of restrictions of certain liberties, the assumption of certain duties, and the pooling of certain powers to be exercised collectively.
