Machines, robots, sophisticated software, and massive immigration are a threat to wages and employment at home, a threat that grows every year.

The first three allow you to have some of the CHEAPEST stuff on the planet.

Wanna give THAT up?

The fourth BUILT this country.

(I'll assume you were talking about BOARDER INVADERS instead of LEGAL immigrants) MASSIVE giveaways by OUR 'representatives' are the problem - NOT the ones that USE (and abuse) them.



More 'foreigners' are in Dubai than natives; but I can guarantee you that they will NOT end up being able to multiply and takeover THAT country!

I think you misunderstood my comment.

The article claimed that Republicans need to create more high paying blue collar jobs in order to “regain” the voters from “Middle America.”

That sounds like a futile strategy to me.

Well paid blue collar jobs are disappearing all over the world, not just in the USA.

And it’s not clear to me how we can stop that from happening.

As to massive LEGAL immigration - I was pointing out that low skill, lower paid jobs cannot be created fast enough in America to keep up with the 1.5 million new LEGAL immigrants who arrive here each year.

Massive LEGAL immigration harms low skill native born Americans.

It pushes down wages, reduces the number of open jobs, and limits upward mobility for low skill Americans.
