Why Do Less Educated Republicans Oppose Immigration Reform More Stridently?

National Journal ^ | June 9, 2015 | By Ronald Brownstein

[RKBA Democrat]

Hational journal whoring for the globalists again. Nothing new.

[MrB]

“less educated” by the standards of those that would define that term

closely correlates with those who spend less time being indoctrinated into the leftist worldview by “public education”.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I also feel that there is a general feeling of anger because so many people have lost their jobs because of the smothering weight Obamacare has been on small business.

This 65 year-old MBA is against illegal immigration as well.

[Waryone]

Some of the more educated republicans can resist the elite indoctrination perpetuated by the democrat dominated university system but some republicans become liberal socialist communist marxist nihilists like the GOP elite establishment.

I’ll give you two guesses as to which group I believe you fall, Mr. Brownstein.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Because it takes an Ivy League institution to screw-up your brain badly enough that you’d think this is a good deal?

[Boogieman]

It’s a very simple answer: illegal immigrants are not competing for jobs with the highly educated class.

[Da Coyote]

Considering the utter worthlessness of most degrees nowadays, perhaps ‘twould be productive to consider the superiority of an “old” high school education to the vapid, non-academic tripe currently being issued in most lib arts curricula.

Short Answer: Wisdom

[BatGuano]

I may not have any graduate degrees, only a measly BA in History but I consider myself “Educated.” I sense that this article was written by one less with less wisdom than the least educated among us. It is a total waste of ink and, now, a waste of our time.

[trisham]

Um, because they are among the class of people most hurt by cheap labor?

*******************

Exactly right.

[RinaseaofDs]

Because colleges indoctrinate young people into socialism?

[Jan_Sobieski]

Ad Hominem. He is so “educated” he probably doesn’t understand this.

[Original Lurker]

America’s largest imports:
1. Crime.
2. Disease.
3. Poverty..

I’ll save the 4th for another thread (hint: a carnival-like culture of liquid manure)

[SunkenCiv]

Gosh, do you suppose this shill piece comes from the DNC?

• 'He just got my vote': MSM angle for dismissing potential Scott Walker 2016 candidacy could backfire
• Howard Dean: Scott Walker 'Unknowledgeable' Because No College Degree
• Scott Walker's lack of a college degree: A non-issue that Democrats should avoid
• Prominent Democratic Donor Called Scott Walker a 'Dumb (bleep)' for Something 60% of Americans Share

Thanks Cincinatus' Wife.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Why do leftists import 150 million poor people and then complain about poverty?

[smalltownslick]

Uh - they haven’t been indoctrinated???

[DrewsMum]

I have a Master’s degree and I oppose illegal immigration 100%.

But no one called ME for any of these studies.

For the record, I also oppose SOME legal immigration.

[VTenigma]

Because they are the ones having their jobs replaced by illegals? Just askin’.

[Uncle Miltie]

A: they know the illegals are after THIER jobs.
