prediction : IS XENOPHOBIA ON THE RISE IN THE US? IS THE IMMIGRATION POLICY CAUSING IT?

The article referenced was predicated upon the arrest of an undocumented immigrant from Peru for the execution style slaying of 3 college students in New Jersey. Do you think the US' immigration policy is causing this? Is the screening process more lax from these countries, and do the people just "claim" not to have documentation, or is it just people sneaking over here? Do you agree with senior fellow of the MPI (Migration Policy Institute)and former INS commissioner Doris Meissner's assessment (she is quoted as saying): "I don't think there's been a time like this in our lifetime, even though immigration is always unsettling and somewhat controversial, we haven't had this kind of intensity and widespread, deep-seated anger for almost 100 years."? Xenophobia is on the rise in America. Bush's overhauling of the policy after his defeat isn't enough. The immigration policy has some errors which I believe can be corrected by... I have no real answer... It's a moral problem directly related to the prejudice of certain "nativist" groups... other, see comment Ballot #117168 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
