One of the interesting phenomena is outside beliefs of American perceptions of immigrants, legal or otherwise. We certainly have our fair share of bigots, but we are also a multi-ethnic society and a very large number of Americans (in the absence of a valid poll, I won't say most) welcome others and celebrate the diversity of our nation.   Not every op-ed writer decrying the influx of undocumented Mexicans is necessarily a WASP - for example, Reuben Navarette. In San Antonio, where my daughter lives, there has been a large influx in the past few years of wealthy Mexicans and people there (many of whom are of Spanish heritage) are no more happy about them than the poor ones.
