The problem is the following:

They are primarily classist in the more general sense. They believe that some class of people are above another class of people. E.g. rich above the poor, one race above the other, ...

They are both socio-economic classist and racist.

Because they are both, their racism is trying to use their socio-economic classist ideas to justify their racism. E.g.: they might receive help from social programs but in their mind, they aren't the lower class because the actual lower class of illegal aliens are stealing the jobs and resources that would allow them to take their rightful spot in a higher class. That is why they are concerned about e.g. taxing the rich.

But both because reality is not their fantasy and because they believe that the system is somewhat merit based, they have to explain why these hardworking alliens are not climbing the socio-economic labber... so aliens have to be lazy!

Consequently aliens are stealing the jobs, so the classist falls undeservingly to a lower class BUT they are also lazy to explain the lack of socio-economic growth for those aliens.

Then those classist morons will get together to organise themselves. Obviously one of the leading notion is the lack of class for the members of the movement, as that is how they understand the world. And obviously the people within the movement with a higher socio-economic class have the opportunity to take advantage of their higher class and get power in the movement. If they are a little smart, they will point at the "lowest" class and blame them.

Then we get movements like maga or the afd. Both state openly that they want to harm the lower classes (as they are supposedly lazy/criminal/evil). Obviously the classist, who obviously want to be a higher class, are fundamentally competitive to each other which destablize the movement. Alliances are built on utility. Once the higher class member are in the highest position, loyalty to others doesn't provide added value but loyalty to the leader provides perceived value to the followers. Consequently the movement tries to help the higher classes instead of the lower classes that originally joined to get support to escape the unfair system that prevented them to reach a higher class.

Ofc the higher ones in the movement are classists as well and look at the lower class members as little more valuable than the alliens and consequently they have no real interest in removing the aliens as they are cheaper labor which helps the elite.

And that is why fundamentally racism movements tend to fail to actually do the racism in the way that the racist wants. And instead are primarily performative. And the movement is primarily classist and not racist, the poor racist are no different to the lower races for a rich racist. So the poor racist get fucked over too.

And these racist idiots fall for the same scam again and again and again. They just don't understand that the fundamental ideals of their moment causes them to be fucked over unless they are at the top. Metaphorically speaking, Racists join a MLM and believe they will be rich 1 day.

Edit: I forgot to mention that these movements tend to be tribal and create additional classes like "rino" (Republican in name only), which pushes the movement away from their racist roots towards a more vague classist notion.

AND I HAVE TO STRESS THEY ARE STILL RACIST AND THEY STILL HARM THOSE "RACES". but not in the way, the majority of racist want them to.

"YES EXACTLY! THOSE CRAFTY TREACHEROUS LIBERALS ARE TOO STUPID TO BENEFIT FROM THEIR OWN GRIFT!"

--probably literally what they think

It's like asking conservatives if illegals are lazy, why is ICE raiding job sites? Logic ain't their strong suit.

there is some similarity to famous schrodinger immigrant. too lazy to work and taking your job at the same time.

They know they are lying.

Let's see how Mexico's rollout of universal healthcare works (hoping it does go well for them!) then watch that entire argument fall to pieces once MAGAS realize they're still losing their homes to medical debt, or going without any affordable drugs or doctors access..

Yeah, one of the electricians that was working on my house got a little chummy with me one day several years back and said something about how if he was smart he'd go to Mexico and then cross back into the USA illegally so he could get the free debit card with thousands of dollars in the account that we give to everybody coming into the country at the border.

I said something along the lines of, "You'll have to enlighten me, what the fuck are you even talking about."

This man insisted that Biden was giving every single illegal immigrant that crosses the border a debit card worth thousands of dollars.

I said, "And do you honestly believe that?"

His response? "Yes." Because most of the guys he works with are "Mexicans" and they told him it was true.

I think there might be another source of this stupid notion. Universities host free clinics where current students can practice their specialties on volunteer patients, who usually are from underserved communities and/or undocumented, who cannot get medical attention any other way. So of course, this is the "free healthcare for illegals", dramatically exagerrated... Ignoring the fact that it is provided by less-experienced students, at very low capacity, and is technically available to anyone.

I think the strawman argument is that they go to the ER, which typically cannot deny care due to lack of insurance. That in turn makes it "free" for them.

Conservatives believe whatever they are told to believe.

Key phrase: "none of them have thought"

This is standard for American conservatives and makes the whole hypothesis believable. They don't think, they just go along with what conservative media tells them.

Imigrants are bad. Claiming to be an immigrant makes me bad. Therefore I should pay my share and blame immigration for me having to pay. And that's just math...

Are You telling me, free healthcare is the norm everywhere else?

I worked for a hospital that would give free dialysis to immigrants for charity tax purposes.
