What's with all the far-right rage about illegal immigration? (lemmygrad.ml)

Here in the USA, Trumpists are very hostile towards immigrants coming from the Mexican border to the point where they infamously proposed to build a wall. The Biden administration is better in-name only, and has kept the concentration camps at the border.

Why is there so much hatred toward these immigrants? What is the material cause of this?

It's a lot easier to blame immigrants for issues like unemployment and poverty, than it is to gain class consciousness and understand that it's the bourgeois class who're at fault.

the bourgeois class knows this, so they push the narrative that immigrants, minorities, etc. are the source of the nation's problems. doing this keeps proletarians from simply banding together to exact real change, because we're too busy with infighting for that.
