if fedgov didn’t flood the country with cheap foreign labor or ship all the manufacturing to the slave labor nations...
there wouldn’t be any problems
There is no doubt those Visa “programs” have been abused for to long. It has to stop obviously and it’s the same everywhere
Well said!
Yes
In 1990, Congress doubled the number of immigrants the US would take every year, massive illegal immigration really got going in the 90s and as an added bonus the H1B program started in...you guessed it....1990. Who was young and seeking to enter the job market right around that time or shortly after? Oh. Gen X was. The Great Recession carved several more years right out of the heart of their careers when they were in their 30s also and it lasted longer than the Great Depression did back in the 1930s. Millenials - especially younger Millenials haven’t gotten a great deal either when it comes to timing.
For Boomers, there wouldn't HAVE BEEN, but for Gen X there WILL BE - because of increased automation and AI
A factory that employed thousands can now run with 14 people - mostly highly qualified and highly educated technicians. The same for banks - the teller job is gone and has been gone for decades, but most of the other jobs can be easily automated as well
Ditto for the food service industry - the lower end fast foods are ripe for automation and even in higher end restaurants, more of the grunt work would be automated
any role that does not require creativity and knowledge will be lost - so plumbers will have job security, but white collar bank pen pushers will not
That is certainly true as well.
This is a manufactured crisis all designed to get the populace dependent on the government.
You summed it up nicely. Many problems evolved from that, including increased crime in areas where heavy manufacturing once thrived, such as Chicago.
And if I’m reading the various articles right, the illegals are getting a universal basic income in the form of handouts by the lefty/commie/blue states and the fedgov under the Jill Biden/obama administration.
Many of us have late career job losses. That is no reason for handouts beyond unemployment insurance monies.
Give the commies an inch and they will take a mile. Once the commies get basic income for someone, it will balloon to everyone. Look at homosexuality. They were let out of the closet, and today we have child mutilations with the sick belief they can change their sex.
