Politics 101. Rule by fear or hatred.

Now let's all focus on those damn Mexicans because if we keep on telling our good and backward citizens we need to blame the black people for everything that is wrong, well, we know where that is gonna go. So now you have a common enemy and the cop/citizen killing/hatred can focus on Mexicans. 

Except they're not blaming Mexicans are they? They're blaming illegal immigrants. The millions of legal hispanic immigrants, they have no problem with.

How did we get to the ridiculous point where being against illegal things is bad in some people's eyes?

Because this isn't a stance against illegal things, it's against illegal people.  And that's a big difference.  It's one thing to acknowledge that illegal immigration is an issue.  It's quite another thing to claim that the bulk of them are violent criminals.  You can deal with the issue while also acknowledging that most people who cross the border legally are not looking to destroy America, but to support their families.

Also, you can devise a method that works instead of building a giant ineffective wall that the American people are going to pay for.
