There's an economic element to this, as there so often is in large scale social conflicts. GDP in the eastern part of Germany looks to be c.60% of that of the western part. That probably translates into a tighter job market. So any newcomers would be a problem for easterners.

At some point I expect that lower middle class and poor Americans will realize that they're being undercut by Open Borders crowd. At that point it should be more difficult for the mainstream media to continue to ignore the economic problems caused by illegals and newly legal illegals.
