Many of the American public resent the Mexican immigrants, as they fear they will work their way up and eventually take better jobs, as they saw Asian immigrants do. Illegal immigrants are a particular problem, as they have no right to be in the country, but for this reason accept the lowest pay and an illegal immigrant can often find employment.
