There are a number of immigrants that we are importing, umm, not from the top of the heap. (Hint: their government is giving them directions on how to leave their home countries and sneak in here.)

Absolutely; while the Asians are to replace our “Anglo” middle and upper classes, the Latinos are to replace our lower class. I guess the sentiment is that they will contribute more, and the racial grudge is removed (though it is simply replaced by a different one in some cases).
