National suicide: a march for illegal aliens in Riverside, Calif.

That picture and caption are straight off of Newmax.com. While there is nothing overtly bigoted about them, it is still suspicious. "National Suicide" sounds a lot like "racial suicide", the phrase used by bigots during the early 20th century who were concerned with being submerged by rising non-white populations. Also, we should consider why immigration is "national suicide". The United States has one of the most dynamic economies in the world with a proven track record of providing jobs for new arrivals. America was able to absorb successive waves of immigrants who spoke different languages and had different cultures in the past; so, what's the difference between the poor European immigrants of yesteryear and immigration from the third world today? The most obvious difference is race and though newsmax doesn't mentions it in its articles, that seems to be the implicit subtext of everything on that site written about immigration.
