Loyalty to old immigrants and discrimination against new immigrants is a very broad statement that makes it more correct. Consider that americans, or europeans in particular, wanted all the land they could get their hands on and didn't want to share any of it. As a result their desires were shown in nativism. Hope this helps!

Nativism is best described as loyalty to old immigrants and discrimination against new immigrants, manifesting in various prejudicial attitudes throughout American history. This ideology is rooted in fear of cultural dilution and competition for jobs among native-born inhabitants. Nativism often resulted in harsh treatment and discriminatory laws against new immigrant groups.
