It’s so transparent
Like, it’s just a catch all dodge to avoid addressing the root causes of problems. Oh, traffics bad? No, don’t question suburban development patterns, don’t question planing policy, don’t question whether it’s realistic or practical for everyone to own and operate personal cars. That could undermine the profitability of various special interests. Instead, blame it on these vulnerable populations who we can visibly brutalize for you.
Edit: to be clear, this is just one facet of the scape goating of immigrants and other vulnerable groups to avoid having to have difficult fights with powerful special interests.
Fully scapegoating.
You beat your wife? Its the immigrants who took your job to make you do that.

Blame on those with more melanin levels in their skin
