I pulled this quote from another thread:
GRIJALVA: I think it's pretty shallow, much more shallow than the numbers they boast about. But they are able to tap into a general feeling of anxiety in America. There's an economic downturn in this country, there's a recession approaching a depression, there's the threat of terrorism. In these historical cycles, there's always a scapegoat an economic scapegoat, usually. Now it's Mexicans
I would like to know what he is getting at. Does he know something we don't? Maybe the economy is worsening. I'm not quite sure - perhaps it's just nonsense to puff up the mistreated Mex'can issues.
