      There doesn't have to be an actual threat by subbywan 2007-01-22 11:21:24
only a percieved one.

consider the current mexican "They're stealing our jobs!" outcry.

How many of those folk are *actually* in danger of losing their jobs to Mexicans? Some, sure, but I'd wager a minority of those kicking up a fuss about it.

People *think* there's a danger they're going to lose something. It may be actual, like a job, wages, etc, or ideological, like their culture.

As long as they think they're going to wind up with less than they started, they'll fight it.
