Most all of it comes down to economic impact.
No they don't. 90% of it is nonsense about 'them done don't speak us'uns English, y'all!' and other completely, 100% racist bullshit.

If that's your feeling, you haven't heard from the people stirring the pot. It's not 'illegal immigrants', it's brown people. No more, no less. Read the bigots at the forefront: Hannity, O'Reilly, Savage, Rollye James, Ron Paul, and the rest. It's a 'defence of culture', aka no brown people.

I agree with that....

The current sentiment in the US is for more border security not less. From both Republicans and Democrats. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McCain have all voted to authorize the building of the 700 mile fence that is currently under construction as Senators.

if the States had not demolished the Mexican economy, they might not have such an issue with illegal migrants

look at Mexican farmers. under NAFTA, there is no way they can compete with subsidized American farmers. the price of corn from the States is so low that subsitence farmers cannot keep up and they have to give up their land
