Answer:

The term is nativism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Natisivm is the belief that current, or native inhabitants of an area are better than people born outside that area, whether they are immigrants or not.

As a political force, nativism consists in the promotion of the interests of the native inhabitants of a territory, over the interests of the immigrants. A nativist policy is, for example, reducing the minimum wage for immigrants, or making it harder for immigrants to obtain jobs.
