protip: If you have to tell people what the symbolism is, it probably means you would've been better off just being straightforward.
But seriously, and I say this as someone who already has spoken at length in previous immigration posts on my opposition to this law, there's plenty more reason to believe it won't go beyond prejudice and bias, without hostile intent to subjugate an entire race. That doesn't make it less objectionable than if it were racist, but let's avoid diluting the word until its actually called for. Especially as I see the law not surviving long enough for it to evolve into anything worse than an exercise in prejudice.
