Why did nativists resent immigrants?
Like most countries, the United States alternated between welcoming newcomers and wishing they would stay away. Some American nativists, especially in the early to mid-1800s, wanted only those who were descendants of the original colonists to live in the US. They questioned whether immigrants with no ties to America would be loyal to this country, and they feared that immigrants would secretly remain loyal to the old country. Other nativists disliked people from the "wrong" religion-- Catholics and Jews, for example, and later they did not want people from the "wrong" race-- Asians, free blacks from the Caribbean, etc. Thus, the main reasons that nativists opposed immigration were fear of those who were different, and later, concern that immigrants might take away their jobs.
What was the basis of prejudice aganist irish immigrants?
The main reason was that the Irish immigrants were Catholics. This was an era when nativists in the United States were mainly from the Protestant religion, and they wanted only Protestants (and preferably, descendants or relatives of the original colonists), to be citizens. Nativists held many stereotypes about the Catholic faith, including the erroneous belief that Catholics worshiped the pope and would thus not be loyal to the United States. Therefore, the arrival of the Irish was not welcomed by some Americans, who believed these immigrants were members of the wrong religion and would not make a positive contribution to the United States.
