Some Americans held nativist views toward immigrants due to fears of cultural dilution and economic competition. Many believed that newcomers threatened their jobs, values, and social cohesion, particularly during periods of economic downturn. Additionally, nativist sentiments were often fueled by racial and ethnic prejudices, leading to the perception that certain immigrant groups were inferior or undesirable. These views were further amplified by political movements and social tensions, particularly during times of rapid demographic change.
Yes. Plato was a nativist, in direct contrast to Aristotle's empiricist views.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich characterized potential immigrants to the U.S. in a critical light, often portraying them as undesirable and detrimental to American society. In his writings, he expressed concerns about the influx of immigrants, particularly from southern and eastern Europe, suggesting that they threatened the cultural and social fabric of the nation. Aldrich's views reflected a broader nativist sentiment of the time, emphasizing fears of crime, poverty, and the dilution of American values.
unconvincing and confrontational
No, it was a long battle of cultural and political differences that led to a long, unofficial war between European immigrants and Native Americans. Much of what fueled this war were the conflicting views on property ownership, religious beliefs and general lifestyle. The Native Americans were often seen as animals that were unable to conform to what the Europeans saw as their more advanced and civilized way of life. The Native Americans often saw it the other way around, that the Europeans were trashing the land and showing no respect to what we know now as the U.S.A.
People in power (government officials) have always associated (blamed) all the bad things that happen in the United States to minorities and immigrants. When the United States was in war with Germany, German immigrants were segregated and treated like criminals. When the United States was about to go to war with Japan, Japanese immigrants (and American born) were put in concentration camps and treated like criminals. When the Great Depression hit America, anti-immigrants blamed it on immigrants and said that they were taking all of our jobs, which they were not. Now, for today's anti-imigration views. America hasn't change a single bit in the past 200 years, today there are people that still believe that immigrants (usually thought of as only "Mexicans") are taking our jobs, which is not true just like it wasn't true in the past 200 years. Mexicans are the most segregated immigrant (and American born) people in the United States due to many reasons. People are afraid of today's immigrants because they believe they are associated with the drug cartels and gangs, which is not true at all, although there are a few that do come for those reasons it's not a good enough reason to treat all Mexicans like criminals. With high unemployment our politicians are using the same scare tactic they have used for hundreds of years: "they are taking our jobs".
