Nativism rose in the 1880s because some native-born Americans blamed immigrants for everything from slums and crime to hard times and competition for jobs, which prompted many labor leaders to discriminate against people who were not white. In 1909, for example, the president of the United Mine Workers wrote of Asians that “as a race their standard of living is extremely low, and their assimilation by Americans impossible.” Congress responded to this by passing the Chinese exclusion act Congress required immigrants to prove they could read and write in at least one language before they were allowed to enter the United States and only 150,000 immigrants were allowed to enter the United States annually.
