Hi!

The answer to your question would be the first option: xenophobia

Explanation:

Xenophobia is defined as the “dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries.” In this case, Ben lost his job at General Motors when they closed their stores in the US and opened in Mexico, so he’s harvesting I’ll feelings towards Mexico and their people. He incorrectly thinks that Mexican citizens have caused the company to close in the US when the actual American owners of the company decided themselves to move their stores to Mexico for diverse reasons such as cheaper taxes, cheaper manual labor, etc. But because Ben thinks Mexico is to blame for the loss of his job, he now wants every Mexican citizen to pay for it as he has a prejudice against them, and that’s called xenophobia.
