restrictionists
Anti-immigration advocates
Restrictionists advocate limiting or reducing something, most often immigration.
The term appears in policy debates where one side favors tighter controls: Restrictionists argued that current visa numbers were unsustainable.
It can apply to other domains—trade restrictionists oppose free trade agreements—but immigration remains the dominant context.
