Right-wing demagogues are making rising populist appeals about
“foreigners” stealing our jobs, draining our services, ruining our
environment, infecting our neighborhoods, and tainting our values.
This rhetoric deflects responsibility from the underlying systems producing mass inequality, impoverishment, and misery by conveniently scapegoating
“foreigners.”
