nativism in the United States  

Definición

  • As European immigrants sailed into New York Harbor in the 1800s, they were filled with excitement about their potential for a new beginning in the United States. Emma Lazarus's (1883) welcoming words, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” on the Statue of Liberty offered no warning of how nativists would influence the experiences and opportunities of immigrants.
