B. Nativist groups began to encourage immigration.

Kasey Cooley · Answer 2

B. this wasn't ever this reason.

People immigrated to the U. S. due to religious persecution, which is why there's religious freedom in the foundation of America. This ties into "wanted freedom from rules and regulations". D is referencing the gold rush, which was definitely a reason that people immigrated to the US.
