Today, certain activists are calling for illegal immigrants to have the right to vote, hold drivers licenses, avoid learning English, the predominant language of the USA required for any successful venture, and basically be excused from obeying the law (when it comes to legal immigrant status).
This didn't happen 100 years ago.
When you have the above being advocated, the immigrant group in question is going to take some heat.

All the US would really have to do to fix this would be 2 things:
#1: Enforce current immigration laws.
#2: Make it easier to become a legal immigrant. If someone who only wants a better opportunity in life wants to come the US, good for them. Require them to keep visas current and to pay taxes. If you're not paying taxes, and do not have a current visa, SORRY, no government services for you.
