Secondary source excerpt (Gilded Age, 75–125 words): Scholars of political economy contend that restrictionists often presented their proposals as neutral "labor protection." They argued that limiting immigration would reduce the supply of workers and strengthen bargaining power. Yet business groups frequently opposed strict limits, preferring a flexible labor force for factories, mines, and railroads. This conflict produced inconsistent policies: selective exclusion of certain groups, more inspection at ports, and periodic crackdowns, alongside continued high levels of European immigration. The debate revealed competing class interests behind cultural language.
Which stance would most likely be taken by large industrial employers in this period?
