Nativism
Both this article and the Nativism (politics) article use the term, "first-generation immigrants". I'm going to have to take issue with this term as hopelessly POV. Is there any other kind of immigrant? This term seems like a leftist, identity politics based term that implies that "we are all immigrants" (and therefore all members of some minority group deserving of special benefits rather than members of the majority), which as we all know is complete nonsense. If you were born in the country you live in, you are by definition not an immigrant. There are no "second-generation" immigrants - the very conecpt is an oxymoron. I'm going to have to object to the use of this term in any article and in any context. Puppy Mill 23:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- 'First-generation' is common usage in the United States, to describe those who were born outside the US and migrated there. Other countries may have different terminology. The only use of the term here is in reference to nativism - this article was split off from the Nativism article. (The term 'second-generation immigrant' is not used in this article). The population of the United States is composed largely of immigrant groups, that is why there is a specific term 'nativism'.Paul111 11:19, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
POV United States
The Argument and Counter-argument section seems biased because it mainly applies to immigration in the United States. It would be one thing if it were put in a counter US argument, but it's in the main article here. What about Europe or Asia? They are far more powerful as a whole compared to the USA. The general argument and counter-argument section needs to also be inclusive of Europe and Asia. Why is everything on Wikipedia America-centred? 206.113.132.130 15:55, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- LOL @ "America-centered". Don't worry, though, I fixed things on this article.Qwenton (talk) 13:52, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
