It's like illegal immigrants (Mexicans in my area) are the boogeyman that everybody around me agrees to hate. What, materially speaking, is causing this?

When the lower "white" classes start to feel economically/politically downtrodden, the upper "white" classes point to the non-whites (immigrants) as the cause of their problems to deflect attention away from them.
Remember...
Italians? They weren't always considered, white.
Germans? They weren't always considered, white.
Irish? Doesn't matter that they typically are one shade away from being transparent... They weren't always considered, white.
my absolute favorite bit from this genre is that drivel by ben franklin where he calls swedes non-white because they're swarthy!
was the only swede he'd ever seen a charred corpse retrieved from a house fire, or what?!
