It really has nothing to do with the myth even. The myth is just one of the excuses racists like to wheel out so that they can claim they aren't actually racist they just don't want their jobs stolen or whatever. There are things they would do or try to do if it had anything to do with the jobs, but they don't do these things so it's pretty obviously just racism. Another thing I've heard is that "Mexicans wouldn't be patriotic enough" (I'll have to look up the source of that quote sometime), and yet the anti-immigration fucks oppose a discussed reform that would give immigrants citizenship for serving in the military for a certain amount of time. So, it clearly has nothing to do with patriotism either.
In short: Anti-immigration people are completely full of shit and wholly motivated by racism. While I am certain that there are
some anti-immigration idiots who aren't racist on a conscious or intentional level and may even be otherwise not-entirely-awful people, that does not mean they aren't racist and aren't awful people about this specific topic.
