In the decade after World War I, both organized labor and nativist groups favored the passage of laws that would restrict immigration. Organized labor saw immigration as a threat to job opportunities and wages for American workers, while nativist groups were concerned about preserving a perceived American identity and culture. This convergence of interests led to the implementation of stricter immigration laws such as the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 and the Immigration Act of 1924.
Nativist beliefs are centered around the idea that one's own culture, ethnicity, or nationality is superior to others. This can manifest in hostility towards immigrants, support for nationalist policies, and the belief in protecting one's own interests over those of outsiders. Nativism often promotes a sense of exclusivity and can lead to discrimination and xenophobia.
Nativism favors the interests of certain established inhabitants of an area or nation as compared to claims of newcomers or immigrants. It may also include the re-establishment or perpetuation of such individuals or their culture.
In the 1920s, groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the American Legion opposed immigration, fueled by the Red Scare and a belief in the superiority of white Protestant Americans. They viewed immigrants, particularly those from Southern and Eastern Europe, as threats to American values and social cohesion. This nativist sentiment was marked by a desire to preserve what they saw as a homogenous American identity, leading to restrictive immigration policies and widespread discrimination. Their fears were exacerbated by the rise of communism and labor unrest, which they linked to immigrant populations.
