It sounds like Dean is on to the Republicans new blame and distraction plan.
Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean argued on Friday that Republicans will try to make immigrants the "scapegoats" in the next election.
At a rally, Dean garnered the loudest applause when he said Republicans would make immigration a pivotal issue during upcoming elections, as they did gay marriage and affirmative action in previous elections.
"Do you know who the scapegoats are going to be? Immigrants," he said. "In Colorado, the chairman of the Republican Party endorsed Tom Tancredo for re-election. That is morally reprehensible. The governor of California, a supposed moderate Republican, invited the Minutemen to visit California. We do not need vigilante justice."

Maybe they have tired of gay-bashing. I don't know. But they clearly look for new "moral" topics to help them win elections and distract people from other issues.
Do you know who the scapegoats are going to be? Immigrants Dean is 100% correct. They wlll twist words and spin the stories and before long immigrants will be blamed for the terrorism, the poor economy and all that is wrong with the world.
I can see it now. Republicans will be out saying "These mexicans are taking the jobs of hard-working Americans." And what is worse is that I can see the American public buying into the bullshit.
Hello! Maybe the public should have being paying attention when CAFTA was passed. More jobs are going to be lost. Immigrants are not to blame. The Republicans are to blame.
I love how Dean is already on the attack. We will not let the Repupublicans control what the public believes. We will be their to support Dean's message.
