However, I think you're indulging in something of a straw man with your last sentence. The people on this board who are upset about the lack of immigration law enforcement do not believe "...everyone" is trying to take advantage of them. However, it is perfectly obvious that the illegals are fleeing rotten hellhole countries and attempting to get "permisos" to live in the USA, and then get the free stuff that goes with it. Do you actually dispute that on a factual basis? If so, please come out and argue that point directly.
You may feel "bitterness" is manifested. Others would say we are fed up with being made to somehow feel guilty about living in America and being successful. We've reached our limit with this border fiasco. What you see as bitterness, I would term frustration or exasperation -- coupled with a demand for action that is increasing, and will not go away.

There is only one way to change the direction of this country, and that is with new leadership. To get that new leadership, one will need the support of Hispanics and all other minorities. It's just a matter of demographics.
It's sort of like a Catch 22 situation.
