Question

In your opinion, what is the best argument against nativism? Give reasons to support your answer.

Answer 1

This is what I wrote:

Immigrants take jobs that are unpleasant and that many Americans do not want. For example, many Americans don't want to clean houses and that's the job immigrants get. It is true that some of the immigrants do not pay taxes, but just because someone does not do it does not mean that all immigrants do. All immigrants are different, and that's what makes America unique.

Answer 2

The best argument against nativism is that immigrants contribute a great deal to the American economy and to American society. There is very little evidence that immigrants take jobs from American citizens. Instead, they normally take unpleasant jobs that most Americans do not want to do. It is also not true that immigrants do not pay taxes. Payroll taxes and income taxes are deducted from their wages, and they pay sales taxes when they purchase goods. In addition, immigrants add to the cultural diversity of the United States.
