I don't know.....the immigration issue is a part of a much bigger issue and that would be the path of socialism that this country is on.

The founding fathers knew of the dangers:

from the Federalist paper No. 1:
Hamilton writes:

....the vigor of government is essential to the security of liberty; that, in the contemplation of a sound and well-informed judgment, their interests can never be separated; and that a dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of people than under the forbidden appearance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of government. History will teach us that the former has been found a much more certain road to the introduction of despotism than the latter, and that of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people, commencing demagogues and ending tyrants.

I don't want to minimize that issue - its real. But we have been closer to socialism in the past and today we have the failure of the Soviet Union and transformation of China as lessons. That won't stop socialism threats - look at Venezuela and Bolivia but I am nonetheless optimistic.
