I agree - I find it hard to understand the venom with which some people discuss immigration. I opened this thread expecting to read the latest reported outrage by child molesters or other vile criminals, but who are the "scum of America"? Pro-immigration lobby groups.

It reminds me of the venom with which people used to discuss homosexuality in the 1970s and 1980s, before it became socially unacceptable in public discourse. As with this analogy, you do wonder at the pyschology that underlies such strong emotions. Why do people feel so threatened? At best, it looks petty and mean.
