American Nativist

During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, many American groups oppose new immigrations. Although racism is a main reason. There were many others such as economic, political, religious, languages, jobs, and cultures. When immigration entered to this country, they faced many challenges of finding a place to live, getting a job, and get familiar with understanding languages. The first difficulty is languages barrier. Immigrants had hard time understanding the unfamiliar language. Since they did not speak English, it was difficult for them to communicate with other people in society. They did not understand the rules in United States. For example when they were brought to Supreme Court, they were confuse about everything. Somebody had to translate the language to them. It was very unacceptable to Americans. So American nativist were mad to them and oppose immigration. Second big issue was having jobs. There were many competitions for jobs. They didn’t speak English. They were in lower standard, but still they wanted to earn more money than us. In fact they didn’t know what to do in jobs. They wanted to take away our jobs and try too many employments. Which would eventually influence us? That’s why American opposes immigrants. Third problem was for space. They were overpopulation. They would reproduce and make more immigrants like them. That would make more population in United States. Which would take more of our jobs? We wouldn’t have enough money for better life. They would take our living space. Eventually it would influence our younger generation. American nativist was opposed free, unrestricted immigration because of the fear of losing jobs, space, and original culture. American nativist opposes immigration. They thought immigrants would take away their jobs, and spaces. They would bring more immigrants in United States. Which would affect our own identities?
