Answer 2

Nativism is the political position of demanding a favored status for certain established inhabitants of a nation as compared to claims of newcomers or immigrants.[1] Nativism typically means opposition to immigration and support of efforts to lower the political or legal status of specific ethnic or cultural groups because the groups are considered hostile or alien to the natural culture, and assumptions that they cannot be assimilated

Nativism in the United States


Heroes of the Fiery Cross 1928, published by the Pillar of Fire Church
As the direct result of written and broken treaties, catastrophic military failures, lack of competitive scientific, and technological know how, and of forced assimilation, the Indians were virtually destroyed by the European immigration that created the eastern United States. In the United States, anti-immigration views have a long history. For a while Benjamin Franklin was hostile to Germans in colonial Pennsylvania. President John Adams in 1798 signed the Alien and Sedition Acts which limited the ability of immigrants, especially radicals from France and Ireland, to gain full political rights. This became a major political issue in the 1800 election.
Nativism gained its name from the "Native American" parties. In this context "Native" does not mean indigenous or American Indian but rather those descended from the inhabitants of the original Thirteen Colonies. It impacted politics in the mid-19th century because of the large inflows of immigrants from cultures that were somewhat different from the existing American culture. Thus, nativists objected primarily to Irish Roman Catholics because of their loyalty to the Pope and also because of their supposed rejection of republicanism as an American ideal.
Nativist movements included the Know Nothing or American Party of the 1850s, the Immigration Restriction League of the 1890s, the anti-Asian movements in the West, resulting in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the "Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907" by which Japan's government stopped emigration to the U.S. Labor unions were strong supporters of Chinese exclusion and limits on immigration, because of fears that they would lower wages and make it harder to organize unions.
Historian Eric Kaufmann has suggested that American nativism has hitherto been explained primarily in psychological and economic terms to the neglect of a crucial cultural and ethnic dimension. Furthermore, Kauffman claims American nativism cannot be understood without reference to an American ethnic group which took shape prior to the large-scale immigration of the mid-eighteenth century

Answer 9

Here is a summarized version
The term "nativism" refers to a strong preference for the inhabitants of a country or region and an opposition to immigration into that area. Nativism might arise for ethnic, religious, cultural or racial reasons. In many cases, it arises out of fear that the immigrants will reduce the social, economic, political or cultural power or status of the previous inhabitants in an area or change the composition of the area's population and its culture.

Reasons for Nativism

There are many reasons why nativists might be opposed to immigration. For example, they might claim that the immigrants will take jobs away from established residents or overburden the government if they are unable to provide for themselves. Other nativists might say that the culture of the area will be changed or patriotism diminished. Some nativists might decry the immigrants' refusal to or inability to learn the local language, and others might argue that too much immigration will lead to overpopulation. Even if they don't consider themselves to be nativists, many people hold certain viewpoints that could be said to be nativist, at least to some degree.
