Nativists are people who believe that natural born citizens should have more rights than immigrants.These people formed groups that were very active in the middle of the 19th century in the US. They believed that immigrants from Ireland as an example were a dangerous group of people and it was worse if they were Catholics. Often these people formed secret societies and worked behind the scenes to hamper the rights of immigrants.

Natives disliked the new immigrants because they (took jobs from white Americans).
Natives opposed immigration because they believed immigrants would take their places in regards to employment. Natives also lacked trust and were therefore insecure.

"America is for Americans" is a statement that best expresses a common belief among nativists in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Nativism got its name from the "Native American" parties.
Nativists believed there was a need to protect citizens against new immigrants. They believed the foreign born were inferior to native born United States citizens, and that they threatened the American way of life, as well as took away jobs that should go to American citizens.
