There is an element in self-preservation as well, as many Hispanics are threatened by the left's open borders behavior. It makes sense that they are not keen on illegal immigration because they don’t want their jobs taken from them by someone who is willing to work for less. Some observers call the way the left is handling the border a "grave miscalculation."
