I think there is also a bit of backlash to government programs that tried to mandate equality and fairness, but many served to just be bureaucratic money sinks. Unfortunately in some peoples minds, the inefficiencies of these systems, and the outright deception by some politicians in support of these programs to further their own aims, get blamed on the recipients of these systems. It is not fair, but I think it is a natural product of people that don't analyze the situation fully.
Lets take immigration for example, there are politicians in the system that are in total support for the current situation, because it creates a market for less than minimum wage workers for companies, some of which contribute to and lobby political offices. As such, it creates a financial system that encourages bureaucracy that is intended to look like something is being done about it, when in fact the intent is to maintain the current status as long as possible. Unfortunately in this situation, people just looking to make a life for themselves and doing what anyone else would do in their situation, are left to bare the brunt of the outrage, a situation said politicians are more than please with. There is a lot of scapegoating going on in the US right now, which I fear could be leading to a dangerous situation.
