What did nativists believe?
jeka94

The nativists believed that immigrants would destroy America. So, option (b) can be considered as the suitable option.

<h3>Why do nativists oppose immigration?</h3>

Joel S. Fetzer claims that conflicts over national, cultural, and religious identity frequently lead to hostility to immigration in many nations. Particularly in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, as well as in continental Europe, the phenomenon has been examined. As a result, the term "nativism" has evolved to refer broadly to opposition to immigration motivated by worries that newcomers may "distort or corrupt" preexisting cultural norms. Nativist movements try to stop cultural change when immigrants outnumber native-born people by a wide margin.

Many of the following arguments against immigrants are used to support immigration restrictionist sentiment :

Economic :

  • Employment : Immigrants take occupations that would have been open to native citizens otherwise, which reduces native employment. They also produce a labor surplus, which drives down wages.
  • Immigrants incur a cost to the government since they do not pay enough taxes to pay for the services they need.
  • Social welfare systems are heavily utilized by immigrants.
  • Housing : As vacancies are reduced by immigrants, rents rise.

Cultural

  • Language : Immigrants refuse to pick up the native tongue and withdraw into their own communities.
  • Culture : As immigrants outnumber the local populace, their culture will take its place.
  • Crime : Compared to the native population, immigrants are more likely to commit crimes.
  • Patriotism : Immigrants erode a country's feeling of ethnic and national identity.
