Nativists feared that the Chinese workers would take away job opportunities from native-born Americans and depress wages. They also worried about the Chinese workers permanently settling in the United States and potentially outnumbering or overpowering the native population. Finally, a fear of cultural clashes and the perceived threat of Chinese values and customs influencing American society also played a role in nativist anxieties.

Take jobs away from Americans
The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in 1882 due to rising anti-Chinese sentiment and fear of competition for jobs and resources.

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.
