"So now it's the hardworking, uninsured, overworked and underpaid Spanish-speaking brown folks who are the cause of all our woes. Don't dare harbor a negative thought about the millionaires working so hard to land cost-plus government contracts, maintain our entire society's dependence upon the finite supply of fossil fuels that they control, and discourage the emergence of renewable-energy technologies that could eventually free everyone from dependence upon their oligarchy!

It's those damn Messicans who are to blame for everything!"

Sorry, but at least as far as I'm concerned, you've characterized the situation 180 degrees wrong. Much of the blame goes to those "millionaires" who are exploiting Mexico's worse (than the US's) economic situation to make it even harder on the "hardworking, uninsured, overworked and underpaid" labor force that is legally part of our country.

If there's a "scapegoat" then, it is your "millionaire". At least, that, and the US government's accomodation to them, is where the blame for the situation lies.
