I am no longer in favor of Immigration to Australia. I feel that they only try and stay here because of the weather and the beaches and do not care at all about the country.
A person who is in favor of greatly restricting Immigration because it takes jobs away from American citizens is called a Nativist.
Immigrants from Northern Europe
The immigrants from northern Europe were favored by the new Immigration policy.
Immigration distorts the labour market, forces down wages, working conditions and undermines union bargaining power with employers.
immigrat was cheaper than hiring a native born worker
Rather centrist. She is not in favor of a blanket amnesty to all illegal aliens, but does not wish them all deported. She is in favor of a path to citizenship in which a process was laid out allowing illegal aliens to become citizens.
In 1892, the Immigration Act established the Ellis Island immigration station, which primarily served to process immigrants arriving in the United States. However, it was not until the Immigration Act of 1924 that specific numerical limits on immigration were implemented, significantly restricting the number of immigrants based on national origins. The 1924 law aimed to favor immigrants from Northern and Western Europe while drastically reducing those from Southern and Eastern Europe and other regions.
Nativists dislike and distrust anyone who was not born in their country. They generally oppose immigration and favor natives in every way. They always take the natives' side in any dispute.
If this statement is true - and I don't know that it is - it would indicate that the immigration law is not about race, but about citizenship status. The argument that 'if you're Hispanic then you must automatically be against immigration laws' makes as much sense as saying that if a voter is female, she will automatically vote for the female candidate, no matter what the candidate's platform is.
do a favor -- Will you do me a favor? or ask a favor -- Can I ask you a favor?
Sarah Palin has a rather moderate and centrist view on immigration. She does not support deporting all the illegal aliens, but nor does she favor a blanket amnesty. She has desired a "path to citizenship" in which those here can be on track to become legal citizens. She has expressed sympathy with their plight, and said that she understands their desire to be here.
In the 1920s, U.S. immigration policy underwent significant changes with the introduction of the Immigration Act of 1924, which established strict quotas based on national origin. This legislation aimed to limit immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe, reflecting a nativist sentiment and a desire to preserve the country's existing demographic makeup. The quotas were designed to favor immigrants from Northern and Western Europe, significantly reducing the overall number of immigrants and effectively barring many from entering the U.S. The laws marked a shift towards more restrictive immigration practices that would shape U.S. policy for decades.
