Your clarification is important, and I would tend to agree--I would amend my comment to say that, yes, their focus is as such, but with one qualifier: that they ALSO believe that immigration has come to be dominated by this--the word itself has become for them as conflated as what you're stating, and the preponderant American "situation" is "overrun" by illegals (with healthy doses of Fox News to confirm their fears and anger. That's not a stereotype, that's a direct observation, multiple times over). And for what it's worth, the people I've conversed with on this most weren't Mexican or from Latin America. They were Eastern European, Indian, Jewish, Filipino, Russian, and Korean. Some are even relatives of mine--almost impossible to talk to in a rational conversation about the topic.
