The cheap labor lobby wants us to conflate their interests with those of the immigrants and will play the xenophobia card when convenient. No child in Mexico or Guatemala grows up with a life's dream of traveling thousands of miles away from their home and family to go work for 12 hours a day at some cruddy dangerous job in the U.S., while being spat on by racist natives. Yet, you have people on both "sides" (nativists/cheap labor exploiters), and even some so-called progressives who will argue just that.
