Illegal immigration is such in inflammatory subject because anyone who opposes it is denounced as a bigot, which pisses off a lot of people who are simply law and order types, not to mention legal immigrants who resent the illegal immigrants taking shortcuts.
And then there's the class aspect. The flow of cheap labour into the USA benefits wealthy Americans by keeping costs down (ever wonder why restaurants are so cheap in the U.S.?). But it's the working class who see their wages suppressed by the surfeit of labour. So I can see how working class Americans deeply resent being lectured on the subject by affluent liberals who benefit from cheap dining, nannies, and cleaning ladies.
