Everyone crossing the border now is a Cartel Member, unlike their relatives and neighbors (if those people came over). Or that people coming over now asking for asylum are doing it for simple economic reasons instead of fear of torture or death, and bringing their lower class culture with them.
They all forget the Amnesty programs that legalized a lot of the Braceros and undocumented migrant workers in the 1970's and 1980's. Programs that might well be considered null and void under the current administration, which has already rescended Green Card status from some immigrants who might have been late renewing or had misdemeanor traffic violations.
