They'll need to work on the cartel / illegal immigration problem if they want this to happen. I'm still surprised some kind of "economic zone" south of the border hasn't been created to allow US companies to engage with non-citizen workers from mexico. Seems like a win-win. In 2023 many of my friends from asia and india who went through the process to legally become citizens or acquire work authorization have voiced highly negative opinions of the current admin and migrants who cross the border illegally.

Indians and East Asians are sprinting to the Right because of this, DEI, and the movement to neuter schools. It’s not a huge thing yet - i still see a truly enormous amount of second gen Boba Liberals - but it will be.

Is it all that surprising that people who go through the legal immigration process will have a visceral distaste for people who immigrate illegally?

  Not at all, I could not imagine being in their position. Literally sacrificing a decade of your life and nearly $100k to do things the right way - only to be told by "morally superior" lefties that you need to let someone in from latin america or africa because "they deserve it" when migrants also add zero value to the economy other than a small percentage that choose to work.

    You're completely off the mark with your last sentence. Migrants make up almost 1/5 of the US civilian labor force, and Hispanics are a half of that [0]. If that's a "small percentage" of migrants, then I guess the has more migrants than citizens. Also from that source > Foreign-born men continued to participate in the labor force at a considerably higher rate in 2022 (77.4 percent) than their native-born counterparts (66.0 percent). You simply couldn't be more wrong. [0]: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/forbrn.pdf https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/forbrn.pdf
