I think it's so ironic. The people who I associate strongly with conservatism, farmers, exploit immigrants the most. Why do they fight immigration? Just for someone to hate?

If immigration is difficult, then most immigrants in the country working will be illegal. That makes them easier to exploit because they will fear deportation.

Yes. Scapegoating is easier than accepting reality in many cases
