Who felt that immigration threatened the future of American-born citizens?

Many individuals and groups throughout American history have expressed concerns that immigration threatens the future of American-born citizens. This sentiment has often been voiced by nativist movements, which argue that an influx of immigrants can lead to job competition, cultural dilution, and strain on public resources. Prominent examples include the Know-Nothing Party in the 1850s and more recent political factions that advocate for stricter immigration policies. These fears often stem from economic anxieties and cultural changes perceived to be associated with immigration.


What did nativists want to do?

They wanted to restrict immigration. This was done in a way that people were to be passed through check points to be checked for diseases. This was done by a government inspector to make sure they meet the legal requirements before one enters United States. These include not having been convicted of any felony, demonstration of ability to work and demonstration that they have some money.
