Nativists are individuals or groups who advocate for the interests of native-born inhabitants over those of immigrants. They often believe that Immigration threatens national identity, culture, and economic stability, leading to social tensions. Nativism typically involves resistance to immigration policies and a preference for policies that prioritize the rights and privileges of native citizens. Historically, nativist sentiments have surfaced during periods of significant immigration, driven by fears of cultural dilution and competition for jobs.
