Honestly yeah kinda though obviously it's not formalized. Especially in LA, the wealthy/upper middle class controls the entire political system and essentially stifles any economic growth they don't like just to maintain a suburban growth supported by 5'2 Mexican immigrants working every single manual labor job while blacks, second generation Hispanics, and white trash work undesirable retail/service jobs. The Hollywood B-lister who complains about ICE does so because she feels guilty every time she sees her Mexican gardeners watering her yard during a drought, but of course not guilty enough to consent to anything that would harm her own lifestyle.
