American workers did not want increased immigration because they felt that business owners would hire new immigrants, who would often work harder and for less money. So skilled and experienced workers might lose their jobs or earn less.
Immigration distorts the labour market, forces down wages, working conditions and undermines union bargaining power with employers.
The majority of Americans did not want more soldiers dying in foreign wars thousands of miles away. They were afraid of the massive cost of future wars, and of foreign people coming into the US, which was why acts were passed, such as the Immigration Quota Act of 1921. (It said that immigrants had to pass a literacy test, and that only a certain number of immigrants were allowed in each year). Americans did not want immigrants to take jobs because wages were lower since the immigrants would not join labor unions; they accepted lower wages. Americans also feared immigrants because of WW1 and the new political ideas that they brought (like communism).
They argued that most immigrants would work for low wages, which would take the jobs from them.
Some labor unions opposed immigration because their members believed immigrants would take jobs away from native-born americans.
they had opposed the Mexican immigrants because they did not know any English. the Americans had no way to communicate with them. Nope. Unions did not care whether workers spoke only a foreign language. If that was a problem, it was a prob for the EMPLOYER> Unions oppose immigrants because they increase the supply of labor and lower the cost of labor. More competition for each available job. And if unions strike, replacement is easier. all those answers r dumb especially the one above mine its because the believed that immigrants took jobs from native-born americans
yes they opposed them and the miners.

Immigrants in the 1880's did not oppose their low wages. The central job of a union is to limit the supply of labor from which employers are allowed to hire. Immigrants raised the supply and thus lowered the cost of labor.
There were no legal unions in the 1840's when the Irish diaspora started. US workers saw that new English speaking immigrants desperate for work were a bigger competition for jobs than were non-English speakers.
Labor Unions.
