Yeah, I think I'd agree with Ebbie that illegal aliens are the scapegoats in the U.S., particularly if those aliens are Hispanic. There's a huge movement going on now, people volunteering to help patrol the Mexican border and report movement of aliens across the border - it all sounds like a bunch of vigilantes to me. I'm sure the Border Patrol doesn't appreciate the "assistance."

As for Roma in the U.S., I think they're virtually unknown and unnoticed. That's not to say that they're completely accepted or that their lot in the U.S. is wonderful - but I think they're essentially invisible in the U.S.
