38. What a way to demonize a whole group of people.
Are they taking the place of workers out on strike? No. The same scapegoating is happening to the immigrants that happened to the "Okies" in the dust bowl days.
Do you know the story behind "The Grapes of Wrath"? Migrants from the midwest moved to the San Joaquin valley to find work to survive. The were hated and treated like they had a plague in Bakersfield. You could not eve find Steinbeck's book in the library nor was it allowed in the public schools.
The only difference it that todays migrants come from Mexico. Some day we will look back on this like we do the dust bowl days.
