'Boomers don't want illegals here. They want China to pay and give our own citizens a chance.'

Except, they don't vote that way. Reagan and crew passed amnesty in 86, and we got 6 other amnesties for illegals led by neoliberal boomers like Newt Gingrich. It was boomers who pimped and pushed nafta, most favored trade for communist china, and other wto free trade 'deals'. But the idea that 'boomers' held the line on globalism and nationalism here simply isn't true. The entire point of the 90's was boomers like Newt and Limbaugh working to destroy any idea of third parties, nationalism and populism here in America.

Reagan signed amnesty with the requirement that a wall be built. Democrats and RINO neocons decided that wasn’t necessary. Never the less, Reagan himself was not a boomer, neither is Newt Gingrich.

Maybe some of the NAFTA politicians were boomers, as well as others who were probably older, but they were politicians. But the ones who fought against NAFTA were definitely boomers not Gen Y, who were children or the non existent Gen Z.

As a boomer I lived through all of this. I voted against these politicians who supported these things so I know what happened.

You blanket an entire generation while you were not there to see any of it. You seem to be suffering from the ‘anyone older than you’ is a boomer disease. I hope it clears up soon.
