Many Brits too! I know more than a few who would prefer to blame their own problems on the foreign man, as blaming someone else is always the easier option, albeit the more cowardly one.

It's called "Feindbild" or "Enemy image" and it's one of propagandas greatest tools. In the 80's it was the cold war then the war on drugs, then the war on terrorism now it's the war on illegal migrants. Old playbook, new Feindbild, same old game.

Bingo. The socialist monetary system makes promises it can't keep. The politicians can't blame themselves so they: 1. Print money(Bi-partisan by the way) 2. Scapegoat immigrants. The left thinks there is a "right side of history," but that's not how history works. The right thinks immigration fixes math, but that's not how math works.

Yes, every group of migrants was 'the new kid on the block' and were treated very poorly by the more established 'Americans' . A tale as old as time. Even ai, some groups thrived; some did not. A great book by Thomas Sowell, "Civil Rights: Rhetoric or Reality?" touches on this a bit. Short, but a well-researched great read.
