Nativism

/ˈneɪ.tɪ.vɪz.əm/noun
ELI5 mode

Nativism is a policy or attitude that prioritizes the interests of native-born inhabitants over those of immigrants, often stemming from fears of cultural dilution or economic competition. In today's globalized world, it frequently surfaces in debates over border control and national identity, serving as a double-edged sword that can foster community cohesion while fueling exclusionary practices.
