Which of the following was NOT a reason for creating the Anti-Immigration laws that were passed in the late 1800s?
Immigrants were willing to work for less pay, therefore they threatened the jobs of American citizens.
Some immigrants entering the U.S. were convicted criminals, which posed a threat to the safety of American citizens.
Some immigrants were sick when they came to America, which would require public care.
The U.S. was overpopulated and there was not enough room for the incoming immigrants.

Respuesta :

C. Some immigrants were sick when they came to America, which would require public care. This statement doesn't directly say why this would be a problem and a negative effect this could cause isn't mentioned. This means that this wouldn't be a reason for creating Anti-Immigration since it's a neutral statement that doesn't have anything negative about it or mention any negative effects on the Americans that could happen because of it.

Answer:

The U.S. was overpopulated and there was not enough room for the incoming immigrants.
