Get real: Migrants aren’t our enemies

You’re being had, America.

You’re being scared about a made-up enemy.

The big boys in Washington hope you won’t notice what’s going on. Their useful idiots, the xenophobic anti-immigrant activists, want you to get drunk on a little covert bigotry. After all, the overt kind just isn’t acceptable anymore.

So “illegal immigrant” becomes code for Mexican. And Mexican – well, you
know.
