I genuinely don’t understand the obsession with immigrants, why has it reached a new fever pitch? Who is benefiting from all of the isolationism and hate?
The rich and powerful can loot all they want from the country and blame immigrants for it. That’s been the American MO since day 1. First it was Irish, then the Italians, then the Poles, now the Hispanics.
A wiser man than i would be able to see that all those groups are predominantly Catholic, but I’m sure that is just a coincidence.
They are an easy target since people don’t come in contact with them to often. And if there’s a “separate” community in your country, that community is a great target for all the blame arising from current problems in society (poverty etc.).
