Answer 1

Select: differences in language and customs — yes; the fear of loss of jobs — yes; prejudice against non-natives — yes.

Do not select: the need for cheap labor — no (this drove immigration and employer demand more than general public prejudice); the empathy of earlier immigrants — no (earlier immigrants were generally not a major source of widespread empathy that reduced prejudice).
