Answer: the right answer is China

Step-by-step explanation:

Nativism was a movement of Anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic during the 1830s through 1850. This movement returned during the 1920s after the resolution of the WWI and the rapid growth of political and social problems. This turmoil culminated with the elaboration of the first immigration law entirely based on the basis of race and class, shutting the door to Chinese immigrants for ten years, in 1882. The discriminatory legislation received overwhelming support.
