23. you're framing the issue

Assuming this is about popular resentment regarding Bush's cheap-labor legallized illegal immigrants taking a significant number of US jobs at the expense of US workers.

The issue is not with the immigrants, but with certain politicians who first push and then pass the laws that allow for this import of cheap labor.

Similar thing with outsourcing jobs: there's nothing wrong with the people of India or the Chineese, there's somethng wrong with corporations optimizing their efficiency at the expense of US laborers.

People who think so are not anti-immigrant or anti-third world people, rather they are anti-corporatism people.
