Preferred term

anti-immigrant politics  

Definition

  • From early on in U.S. history through present times, a nativist reaction to immigration has fostered hostile politics. Still, while the debate over immigration remains politically charged, it is difficult to accurately surmise an individual's position on the issue based on party affiliation.
