It might happen without foreigners too, but it's so easy to blame them. Besides every country has foreigners from other countries. Don't they realize U.S. is full of Mexicans, for instance?


It might happen without foreigners but it's happening with foreigners.


I went to Mexico 20 years ago. I thought I'd try to find work for a few months. Even though I found a job other people prevented me from working. They were orders of magnitude more aggressive against me than I remembered Americans were in California against illegal aliens from Mexico at that time.


Imagine that! Impoverished citizens of a third-world nation are more aggressive against wealthy foreigners, than are wealthy first-worlders against the pittance-wage illegal immigrants that they hire to harvest their crops! Inconceivable!
