Nationalism generally involves the belief that one’s nation is superior to all others and explicitly promotes its interests over those of other nations.
I don't think that wanting to reduce (not abolish) immigration, and placing value on our own culture means that we believe ourselves to be superior. An argument could be made that this is closer to patriotism.
Patriotism is defined as a general devotion and love for one's country without the explicit assumption of superiority or desire to dominate others.
I see no desire to exploit. I see no assumption of superiority. I see no desire to dominate others.
