Various groups have historically supported restricting Immigration, including labor unions, nationalist organizations, and certain political factions. Labor unions often argue that immigration can drive down wages and reduce job opportunities for native workers. Nationalist groups may advocate for strict immigration policies to promote cultural homogeneity and protect national identity. Additionally, some political factions view immigration restrictions as a means to enhance national security and manage social services more effectively.
A person who is in favor of greatly restricting Immigration because it takes jobs away from American citizens is called a Nativist.
