Whoops
LALALALALAICANTHEARYOULALA.
Anti-immigrant sentiment, particularly against Hispanics, has been building in the United States. It finally came to a head with HR 4437, the House bill that would make it a felony to be or to aid an illegal immigrant.
Anti-immigrant sentiment is pretty mild. Anti-illegal sentiment is strong. That's why the House bill deals with illegal immigrants, rather than immigrants in general. Americans love immigrants. It's a source of pride. "Haha! Our country rules! People want to come here because their home countries suck!" But Americans are usually not too friendly towards folks who break the rules, and then have the gumption to demand the protection of the law they ignored when inconvenient.
So keep trying to conflate the issues. No one is noticing.
