Maybe you are concerned with right wing racist backlash. We got that already. If some of the appeal of the backlash isn't just racist but economic, then affording everyone willing to work wherever the full protections offered citizens (minimum wage, driver's licenses, union organizing righst, etc.) will limit the race to the bottom.
Insofar as we are just dealing with plain old racism -- "We don't want them Azheris, wetbacks, Turks, etc. around here," I don't see why we should tolerate that instead of squashing it. It's the oldest excuse in the world to argue against antidiscrimination laws because "forcing" people to mix will inflame prejudice. Fuck that. It's wrong morally and it's wrong factually. Integration, other things being equal, promotes tolerance. And to the extent taht it doesn't, bigotry should be prohibited, not sanctioned.
