You've got that wrong.

The people to blame are the ones making it happen. The slave owners who put profit above all and imported tens of thousands of Africans. The politicians who refuse to perforn a basic function of government and insure the integrity of our borders. The business leaders who once again put profit above the long term well being of our country and lobby politicians to do nothing about securing our border in order to import cheap labor. The problem is greed. The majority of the people don't want this but they aren't listened to.

Do you think that most of the people of the 13 colonies wanted Africans brought over? Do you think most people in California wanted Chinese brought over? Do you think most people today want millions of Mexicans let into the country? Are the people of Detroit protesting it the streets for more Arabs to be brought to their city? The truth is that the same small number of people responsible for all of this don't give a damn what the People want or what's best for the long term of this country. All they care about is their bank accounts and their own short term interests.
