What about the concept of illegal aliens does this article not understand?
They aren’t immigrants.
Because they haven't been brainwashed by wackjob liberal college professors?
Brownstain is a leftist liar and demagogue.
This 61 year old summa cum laude is against illegal immigrants, and this article is 100% pure BS. Ronald Brownstein isn’t worth urinating on.
Oy vey
I’m sure Mr Brownstein is really smart and all
Is it possible that: the Latinos want more of themselves, the Millennials want someone else to do the unpleasant things that are 'beneath' themselves, and the African-Americans want people who are willing to work to pay their government benefits?
Now, I know this is a gross oversimplification of peoples' feelings and a heinous attempt at stereotyping, but, hey! isn't that what they just did to us stupid white people?
I'm just saying...
I guess we’re just ignorant. And racist. Don’t forget racist.
“Why Do Less Educated Republicans Oppose Immigration Reform More Stridently?”
Um, because they are among the class of people most hurt by cheap labor? (As are blacks, but blacks don’t vote their own interest for some reason.)
When you can’t defend the program on its own merits, insult the intelligence (and moral character) of the opponents.
I would not perpendicularly traverse a linearly configured conveyance route to micturate upon Ronald Brownstein were I to ascertain that he was rapidly combining with oxygen.
It looks like "reforming immigration" is exactly what he doesn't want to do.
Stands to reason that the undereducated White is more likely to be unemployed due to the onslaught.
My Daughter said something about my 17yo grandson saying there is no work...Told that to the wrong person as I can honestly and proudly say that I have NEVER been out of work for more than a couple of days - whether it be my choice or not... Anyway I went around picking up applications - nothing strenuous on my part, maybe ‘cheated’ a little by also going to friends and acquaintances.. In Fauquier County VA, in order to be a ‘dump monitor’ which consists of pointing out where different things go, walk around with a broom and dustpan, assist those that need putting the trash from the car/truck to the bin.
That is a 30 hr a week job NO OT. NO bennies, not even vacation. BUT a perfect job for a 17yo who will be going to College in the fall and doesn’t really want to work...
OH...one of the qualifications is you must SHOW a HS Diploma. Hell, I couldn’t do that but I do have that Diploma from the ‘School of Hard Knocks’, ‘USN School of Amphibious Warfare’ and a few others but NO HS DP.....
Have been asked to produce it BUT with the ‘skills’ you pick up by entering the work force at 13 you can stall long enough and prove your worth.
More than once I have told a skeptical prospective employer:
“Hire me for a week and I will GIVE you that week. After that we will discuss wage and duties. You don’t like my work or I don’t like your Company, we will shake hands and all that is lost will be a week of MY time”
Usually after a couple of weeks my ‘IMMEDIATE’ supervisor could feel my breathing down his neck, making him VERY nervous....HA.....
Gee, Ron. I guess its cause we’re stupid and afraid of the unknown so we cling to prejudice and hatred of those who aren’t like us. We aren’t as smart as you and the other elites who understand how beneficial immigration is and how good-hearted immigrants are. Right? Is that the answer you’re looking for?
Maybe less educated people in general are more opposed to illegal immigration because their jobs are more threatened than upper income earners.
Maybe because they have the most to lose.
Jobs.
Rich educated elites see them as cheap labor; less educated (but more street smart)conservative workers see them as under-priced competition in the job market.
Less educated perhaps but they do have common sense.
Those are not doctors and lawyers crossing the border illegally.
I think the fact that academia is dominated by liberals is the primary reason here. All college students are brainwashed with far left bull$h!t.
