prejudice comes in all forms. 100 years ago popular opinion was against Italian and Irish immigration. Today it's against Mexicans.

It's certainly NOT a race issue as far as I am concerned (I have an immigrant daughter-in-law whom I love dearly) but it IS a race issue as far as the MEXICAN elitists are concerned, "In 1995, Mexican pundit Jorge Castañeda published an article in the Atlantic Monthly entitled “Ferocious Differences.” "This piece was quite frank in spelling out the fact that the white Mexican elite utilizes emigration as a safety valve. (Mexican Foreign Minister) Jorge Castañeda described the perception of the average American’s powerlessness against mass immigration when he wrote “Some Americans … dislike immigration, but there is little they can do about it.” The Mexican Castillians are the racists.
