a. immigrants wanted to send money to their families.

b. immigrants supported democracy.

d. immigrants would not learn new job skills.

Explanation:

To determine an argument against immigration, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Sending money to families is a personal action, not an argument against immigration.
• Option B: Supporting democracy is a positive trait, not an argument against immigration.
• Option C: The claim that immigrants took jobs from Americans is a common anti - immigration argument, as it suggests negative economic impact on native workers.
• Option D: There's no strong basis that immigrants generally would not learn new job skills, so this is not a typical anti - immigration argument.

Answer:

C. Immigrants took jobs from Americans.
