You're right, it's very different from the kind of racism exhibited during the Civil Rights movement and prior. It's much more latent, and has more to do with the perception of illegals asdirt poor, trashy, uneducated and ignorant masses... which is often true, but our policies do nothing to improve those conditions, and since when is class or wealth or education supposed to entitle you to more opportunity than others in this country?
