Opposition to immigration is related to growth and income inequality which fuels the affordability crisis.

Rounding people up for deportation has become too draconian. There is still, however, a populist opposition to immigration. I see that as being related to the crisis in affordability. Population and economic growth, combined with income and wealth inequality, has made staying in the middle class harder for many Americans. We haven't been able to accommodate our growth well due to shortages of housing, transportation bottlenecks and so forth. Better planning and long term vision for sustainable life in USA is needed.
