"They're taking our jobs! They're taking our jobs! Darn immigrants! Let's patrol the borders!" say the angry Americans. But it's not the borders they need to patrol if they want to keep their jobs. It's the boardrooms. Because it's the outsourcing of labor, not the insourcing of laborors, that is killing American workers. Scapegoat. And how easy it is, for these workers, who look at the government and see a big, scary tangle, to turn on the poor immigrants, defenseless and tangible, and to take their fury out on them, and not out on Wal-Marts and politicians!
