Content: They came to this country in search of a better life but now are trying to prevent others from doing the same. This is extremely hypocritical of Americans who simply tried to change the rules to keep the majority vote and their jobs. Nativists during this time were selfish, wanting what is best for themselves while depriving others of the same thing. Looking Backwards illustrates the hypocrisy displayed by nativist Americans who wished to force out immigrants while they were just the same. APUSH106 says: February 7, 2012 at 9:35 am

Since the New World was founded in the 1600s, people have traveled across oceans to America in search of freedom and new beginnings. This “American Dream,” with its roots instilled in the Declaration of Independence, ins the reason that millions have immigrated to our country over the centuries. The Industrial Revolution sparked an influx of immigration to America, as more jobs than ever before were becoming available. In the last half of the 1800s, more than 2 million immigrants came into the United States.
