The question is, what will immigrants be blamed for next?
In just the last few weeks, it’s been global warming, stealing elections, and now- you guessed it - the Wall Street meltdown.
Well, this is your chance to weigh in. No joke -- having blamed immigrants for nearly every problem facing the world, we are concerned that the anti-immigrant brain trust is scraping the bottom of the barrel. So in the interest of promoting a lively debate, please take our 10-second poll and forward to friends!

Thanks for casting your vote!
