Some research surveys suggest that many Trump followers aren’t so much anti-Hispanic as they are worried about the perceived effect of immigration on their culture and pocketbooks.

Bingo! We don't care what the race, language, or ethnicity of illegals is, it is the fact that they are ILLEGAL, and that means a whole host of facts that apparently go right over this author's head.

-illegals work under the table for below minimum wage, and pay no taxes
-as long as they can produce an anchor baby, illegals get all kinds of welfare benefits
-insanely, despite the fact that they pay no taxes and are an incredible burden on the welfare system, illegals are allowed to send their kids to school and get in-state tuition to colleges, taking slots that tax-payer's kids should have had
-illegals are also imported to feed a thriving slave industry (aka "human trafficking").
-illegals are used to smuggle drugs into the US

I'm sure many other things could be added to the list. Not surprisingly, not a single one of them involves race or ethnicity.

Careful. It is lists like yours that the amnesty crowd grab onto. They claim a path to legalization will make everything on your list better. It won’t.

Illegals only have jobs because they can be treated differently in all the ways you mention. If they were made “legal” they would then become a complete burden — their jobs would disappear as their employers found new illegals to fill them. Even if new illegals were impossible to find, many of those jobs would be automated out of existence rather than rehire those now-more-expensive green card holders.

Nor does it do anything about them clinging to their home countries’ language and culture rather than assimilating. Nor does it help employ unemployed Americans. Nor does it reduce the welfare tab for these low-paid illegals’ families, from housing assistance to public school lunch programs and in-state tuition and taking college slots from American students and using emergency rooms for a sniffle.

The only solution that really helps all these problems is deportation, crackdown on employers and landlords, and limiting future legal immigration to a trickle that we can assimilate.
