This is a frequent argument I see them make. What is the best counter or rebuttal to it?

Tell them to go back to Mexico.

They deliberately crossed into another country that's full of White people, but then bitch that they're not being treated like one. So why the hell did they move there in the first place?

But of course, they know the truth. It's better to live "oppressed" under Whites, than to be "free" in a Brown one.

The issue with the go back to the go back to argument in relation to central and southern americans is that they can pull the Whites replaces the Natives card as well as point out how the US Government/CIA crusade against communism in those regions during the cold war lead to destabilization and the poverty forcing these types to want to migrate to the US.

The key thing to identify in this type of argument is the role of liberal ideology in obfuscating power relations. Liberals frame this issue as a moral one, i.e. that it is immoral to have a border patrol that repels immigrants with the (sometimes realized) threat of force. That's not what it is. It's one of power relations. Letting all of these immigrants in politically, socially, and economically disempowers White Americans. We should therefore restrict immigration because it's in our interest to do so.
