directing hatred towards illegal immigrants takes the heat off the oligarky, and ruling class elite. it also keeps ordinary people divided. if the masses were united, they could resist the oligarky, and the current people who are in power could potentially be ousted. targeting illegal immigrants, also gives the public the impression that the oligarky is concerned about order, and the rule of law. it gives the appreance that the ruling class is doing the right thing. at the same time, the public's attention is taken away from real criminals who are a much bigger threat, and also happen to be legal residents. alot of the nastiest people in amerika happen to be legal immigrants with papers, and theyre actually the biggest threat, because they are more cunning than your average amerikan, more educated, and can outsmart you, and dupe you before you even realize it. they'll also never see the inside of a jail cell because they're too smart, and well connected to get caught. illegal immigration could be eliminated in 1yr, but illegal immigration is extremely beneficial to leaders who are able to make huge profits off exploiting illegals
