Or the depths of ignorance? This story has to be read to be believed. The best summary is at Snopes:
Get that? He's Navajo. His family has been here about 12,000 years longer than the protesters'.
There's really not much to add, except that the anti-immigration protesters were protesting a group that was lobbying for pro-labor legislation, not immigration.
It's worth reading the whole story -- these people were totally out of control.

In late January 2018, reports surfaced that supporters of Donald Trump confronted a Native American legislator during an anti-immigration protest at the Arizona state capitol, demanding to know whether he was in the country legally. The viral stories on various web sites (including The Hill and the liberal RawStory.com) were all aggregated from the original reporting of the Arizona Capitol Times, a nonpartisan weekly newspaper focused on Arizona government and state politics.
We confirmed that one of the anti-immigration protesters did indeed ask an indigenous state representative whether or not he was “legal,” both through video footage of the incident and three corroborating interviews with Arizona state legislators who witnessed the scene. In the background of the following video, a protester asks Rep. Eric Descheenie whether he is “legal.” Descheenie is Navajo.
Get that? He's Navajo. His family has been here about 12,000 years longer than the protesters'.
