Answer 1

- Nativist tried (...) to ruin the U.S. Much of the nativist sentiment was incorporated into the Republican party but Abraham Lincoln, his second presidential candidate, rejected it sharply when it was presented in 1890: his program opposed any modification of the nationalization laws to cut the rights of immigrants or citizens without differentiating among those born inside or outside the United States.

1. A permanent resident card, also called green card.
2. An Employment Authorization Document (work permit).
3. A Visa based on a job that allows you to work for a specific employer.
