    Second generation (or more) descendants of immigrants often don’t appreciate what their ancestors did. Just “Born in the USA dammit, it’s mine”.

    Even many first generation latinos don’t want further waves doing what they did.

    Or, they don’t even see the next immigrants as doing what they did, or being like they were. They might help specific friends and family follow along, but not those “teeming hordes over there”.
