Most of the bitching about unauthorized / illegal immigration I have heard has been predicated on the idea that people are making use of social services without contributing back into the system, presumably directly in terms of paying taxes. (I don't care who my tax dollars help as long as they help someone, fyi, this just seems to be the argument) The 'undocumented worker' cliche. I have a hard time seeing strictly race-based discrimination actually being a thing after our grandparents die out.
Being poor sucks, being rich is awesome.
