Scapegoating is a theory suggesting that the weakest group in society is unjustly blamed for various societal issues. Recent events have seen illegal immigrants targeted for problems like crime and unemployment, despite a lack of evidence supporting these claims. The document highlights that most crimes by undocumented immigrants are minor and challenges the narrative surrounding this group.

1. Scapegoating is a theory of prejudice and discrimination.
Society looks at the weakest group, and places blame on that
group for all ills. That group then becomes the bottom level of
society. We've seen this over the past 18 months. Illegal
immigrants have been blamed for many issues, in particular
crime and unemployment rates. Yet, I know few in my own area
who will do the jobs these folks do every day. As for crime,
please see the link below for a journal article that addresses this
issue. Most crimes committed by immigrants without papers are
misdemeanors.
