7/This suggests that racists, white supremacists, Republicans, nativists, and/or conservative media figures have successfully used "illegal immigrant" as a smear to stir up animosity toward Latinos among white Americans.
8/"Illegal" is being used similar to the way "wop" ("with out papers") was used to smear Italian-Americans in the early 20th century - as an illegitimate alien group. When Tucker Carlson or whoever says "illegals", it's a racial dog-whistle.
I thought it was a backronym, created after the 1924 law.
In other words, I thought that after the passage of an anti-Italian immigration law, people started using "wop" as a backronym to imply that Italians came illegally.
I was told by someone who knows things that it actually comes from the Italian word "guappo", meaning a swaggerer, pimp, or ruffian
Ah, so what you're saying is that it started out that way but over time it came to mean "without papers?"
That was my impression.
