Answer 1

They pushed for laws to discourage immigration or deny political rights to immigrants.

Step-by-step explanation:

In history, Nativism was a political string that exalted the interests and the rights of the national population over its migrants. It was mainly tied with the embodiment of measures to dominate immigration flows, specially of Chinese immigrants.

The navists employed missions to boycott German and Irish goods, because they did not want to contribute the econimic infrastructure and enlargement of the immigrants.
