I'd say the Left blame the organ grinder, not the monkey.
Of course the left have concerns about mass immigration but the left have a tendency to look at the bigger picture. How did this happen? where did this start? and how can we stop it continuing? They believe the government should be answerable to what we are seeing now
I agree with you about scapegoating. Some people, and that includes some on here, can't see beyond the immigrants. For the Right, the only people answerable for mass immigration is the immigrants themselves. They have no interest in cause and effect.
Notice how right wing media go all out to protect the government from blame by agitating the masses to blame the immigrants. I'm not sure how some of us can see that whilst others are happy to be deceived and manipulated.
