You have it wrong.
It would be hard to find anyone who is intolerant of immigrants.
Just about everybody here is descended from immigrants.
I think it is perfectly acceptable to be intolerant of criminals, however.
And while the majority of the Mexican, Guatemalan, etc. people here are
perfectly good, hard-working, family-oriented types, there has lately been
an influx of hard-core gangsters from the same areas.
People who have lived their whole lives never having to lock their doors
or worry about their kids are naturally going to be upset when they have
drive-by shootings, burglaries and car thefts to worry about.
