The correct answer is c!

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Immigrants take jobs away from native-born Americans.

Step-by-step explanation:

• One of the reasons nativists opposed immigration is because they felt that immigrants were willing to work for any wage, which would make it harder for native-born American citizens to find jobs. The nativist movement in the U.S. began in the early 1800s with clashes between nativists and immigrants turning violent by the 1830s.
