Because it’s always easy to blame the “other.” Throughout history the immigrants have always been “dirty”. Dirty Mexicans, dirty Italians, dirty Irish, and the list continues backwards. Every immigrant group comes in poor, bringing very little, and not living up to prissy standards.
I recall having a “discussion” with antivaxers at the time of the measles deaths in the Texas outbreak last year. There were cases in New Mexico too, with one death there.
One antivaxer was ranting about illegals with measles invading Texas over the border.
I took great delight in pointing out to him that the outbreak was in NEW Mexico, not in Mexico.
PS: I’m really surprised the Orange slime ball hasn’t renamed the State yet.
