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.

Really? Each of the groups you cited were at one time "illegal" in that they weren't entitled to vote, but once there was enough of a political/economic force behind their cultural groups they were included into the political system.. after-all if you are the politican or party that reaches out and helps a group become "legal" citizens they tend to show a little loyalty....
