…in my experience, first-generation-citizen demographics tend to skew hardest against undocumented immigrants; not sure whether that’s because they put in the time, effort, + cost to secure their own citizenship and thus resent those who haven’t done so in kind, or because they emmigrated to expressly to get away from their native demographic who comprise undocumented immigrants…
First/Second Gens are anti-immigration. They’re used to political corruption keeping them from advancing. They see the right as creators of business opportunity. There are plenty of ways to exploit cheap labor and they can move up the food chain pretty quickly compared to home.
They don’t care at all about others in their situation; they’ll step on whom they have to in the move up.
Honestly, it’s the same view as a lot of the poor whites.
