Nativism is a policy that holds the interest of those born in a territory over inmigrants. During mid- 1800s and 1900s nativism increased in America due to inmigration of Europeans, who were considered as rivals for taking away from americans job and housing oportunities. "The unrestricted dumping-ground" cartoon perfectly shows how Americans saw the italian inmigrants, decribing them as the mafia, socialists and anarchists. Uncle Sam stands by the american flag as he sees how these italians come from the "slums of Europe". Nativism can clearly be seen in the "wagon" labeled as "Direct from the Slums of Europe daily" showing the american view of recieving in their country the worst of Europe that compromise their safety. Uncle Sam wearing the colors of America's flag tries to represent the patriotism and the difference between the United State citizens and the rats comming from abroad. And finally, nativism is representated in the cartoon's title, which in a passive way blames the goverment for the lack of restriction to inmigration, affecting American's interests and safety.
