Thus demonstrating their motives are altruistic, for good of the republic in general, and not rooted in self interest.

Not so. Lee Atwater's quote demonstrates that y'all will vote for something against your interest if you think it will hurt brown people more than white people. While polls show an increase in laws restricting University and College tuition from illegals (hurting brown people), there is no similar move at the high school and below level (y'all want the money- so far).

So one could reasonably say, when you can narrow it down to hurting brown people, it's a winner so far.
