for every narrative, there is a counter-narrative. for example, one narrative claims that there exists a "sub-class" of "illegals" who "sneak" into the USA and take advantage of money giveaways at the worst, and at the best "steal" jobs that US people would gladly take. the counter-narrative is that there is a group of migrants who come to the USA, are given an extremely limited amount of money to get started, they go directly to work, picking our crops, cleaning our bathrooms, landscaping our homes, they pull themselves up by their bootstraps, doing jobs that natural born US people wouldn't be caught dead doing. choose your narrative, both have their own associated facts and data.

I'm inclined to believe in the 'hardworking immigrants' narrative rather than the 'criminal scapegoats' one. That said, my question isn't about the worthiness of the migrants themselves. It's about the mood of the States and if people think this event would set something big off.
