Answer:

B. Immigrants took jobs from Americans.

Step-by-step explanation:

The arguments about immigration is typically not about legal immigrants, but rather, about illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants are forced not to comply with the law, as, if they are found out, will be deported, forcing them to have to accept jobs that are paid less. However, workplaces who do not need a certain skill set may actively seek out illegal immigrants, as they can be paid for less then the minimum wage, as well as allowing work conditions to be more lenient (which typically means under the federal safe levels). This creates a market where jobs that are typically filled out by native born or legal immigrants are taken away, forcing those who are in the country legally to be jobless and have to heavily rely on the government just to survive. Also, illegal immigrants

There are arguments about legal immigrants as well, that go along the same line of taking jobs, though they are much more fewer then illegal immigrants. Also, Illegal immigrants is the second highest group that commit crime, over the legal immigrant group. A. is also an argument, though rarely used, as illegal immigrants tend to send money away from the US, causing a leakage in the ordinary cash flow, leading to less money in the US overall.
