36. The usual scapegoating of the poor and powerless.

With a hefty dose of thinly veiled racism.

The immigrants come here because they were driven out of their jobs and off their land by the corporations. They come here to work and pay taxes, for which they are repressed and condemned.

Sad to see so much scorn for the immigrants here, and so much support for "law & order" that victimizes them.

Insead of curbing "illegal immigration" we should be curbing the rapacious power of the corporations.
