How to Classify Nativist Arguments

The evidence usually cited for restricting legal immigration to the US can be classified as follows:

  1. Data about places other than the US.
  2. Data about a group of people who have been here for centuries.
  3. Evidence that part of US history is occurring again.
  4. Evidence that can be used to defend compulsory population control.
  5. Claims that are inconsistent with economic theory.
  6. Claims for effects that are actually good.
  7. Anecdotal bulshytt.

Are there any others?
