Many europeans have the same problem. Always looking for a scapegoat..

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.
Some of my elder relatives, who had to migrate from Spain to France and Switzerland to get out of poverty and a devastated country have this view too. Sad.
That's why it's called xenophobia. Fear of things that are different. But it's just fear at the end of the day. These people have been so destabilized by fiat that they are so scared and they not sure why. Foreigners is a easy scapegoat.
:110percent: fear is the mind killer. easy to control the masses when they are scared.
I think the global migrant crisis is one massive show. It's manmade and everything happening right now has been predictable for the last 2-3 years (same as the decline of fiat after the covid mess was predictable but it took the economy almost 5 years to catch up to the mess).
The so called crisis is happening in too many places simultaneously as not be to deliberate. The destabilisation of currency and national security is happening to push all those new dystopian bullshit on us from digital ID to digital money, only censorship etc etc. I'm certain of this.
So am I. I'm convinced there are accounts on Nostr shilling the so-called migrant crisis. Shills everywhere nowadays
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.
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.
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.
