The correct answer is "All of the above". Many immigrants were targets of discrimination for multiple reasons, including nativism, which is the belief that the interests of native-born or established inhabitants should be prioritized over those of immigrants. This was fueled by a fear that immigrants would take away jobs from American citizens. In addition, immigrants were often discriminated against because of their unfamiliar religious, language, and cultural practices, which made them seem different or foreign to the established society. To answer this question, it is important to consider all the reasons mentioned and understand the various factors that contributed to the discrimination faced by immigrants.
