For a long time, there were only a few anti-immigrant activists clinging to the fringe of the “mainstream” of American politics. The immigration issue in recent decades is really an issue about race –and for that reason politicians have stayed away from it. The illegal aliens are overwhelmingly Mexicans, who are possibly the least popular Third World race for most Americans. In recent decades our extremely corrupt politicians have allowed a “legal immgrant” flood of Indian, Chinese, Arab and other Third World races. The average White American is no more happy about these non-White legal immigrants than he is about the Mexican illegal aliens. Joe Sixpack would be quite happy to see all immigration shut down and is tired of hearing about “the need for cheap immigrant labor” especially when that cheap immigrant labor is cutting his pay in half. While most politicians speak only about illegal immigration there is an extremely strong undercurrent among voters to cut off all immigration from the Third World regardless of legality.
Among the few people brave enough to speak out about immigration when it was still a high risk topic were Pat Buchanan and Lou Dobbs. Los Angeles radio talk show hosts John and Ken have been attacking the illegal alien problem for years and their radio show has the highest ratings in all of southern California. In the last year an angry mob of politicians and talk show hosts has jumped on the anti-immigration bandwagon.
