Targetting immigrants

It's kinda odd.. hardly a week back I was watching documentaries on environment and related issues at the NFAI, organized by the MIT Inst of Design.
Odd because I was thinking of just the kind of scenario that has occured - immingrant baiting.
The fact that civic/political authorities work in connivance with vested interests to mismange civic issues like transportation, environmental pollution, etc points to a deeper malaise - that of depriving the citizen of exercising the power of the community of which he is a part, by distorting value systems that favor narrow market oriented policies of the industry.
The nexus between the poltician and industry is nothing but evil.
The strain on the poorly equipped civic resources makes immigrants an easy target for baiting, especially by politicians who want to wash their hands easy of the problem.
Let there be no mistake - politicians, almost across the political spectrum (barring a few) are together in this.
This further poisoning of the minds of the community must be resisted at all costs.
