Answer

The answer is Nativism.

Explanation
Option 1: Immigration Restriction

Immigration restriction refers to policies or laws that limit the number of immigrants allowed to enter a country. While it can be influenced by nativist sentiments, it is not specifically a sentiment itself but rather a policy outcome.

Option 2: First Wave Immigration

First Wave Immigration refers to the initial large-scale immigration to the United States, primarily from Europe, during the 19th century. This term describes a historical period and does not relate to a political sentiment favoring native-born Americans.

Option 3: Nativism

Nativism is a political sentiment that favors the interests of native-born inhabitants over those of immigrants. It often involves advocating for greater rights and privileges for native-born citizens, particularly white Americans, and can manifest in opposition to immigration and immigrant rights.

Option 4: Chinese Exclusion

The Chinese Exclusion Act was a specific piece of legislation passed in 1882 that prohibited the immigration of Chinese laborers to the United States. While it was influenced by nativist sentiments, it is not a sentiment itself but rather a specific legal measure.
