Nativists -- representing a political philosophy based upon a preference for Americans who were born in the U.S. over those who are first generation immigrants -- first emerged as a named political movement in the Northeastern states in the mid-1800s. The nativists at that time specifically opposed the dominant immigrant group at that time: the Irish Catholics.
