But its hard to rebut this point made by Buchanan:
“Still, the GOP crisis is not so much illegal as legal immigration. Forty million legal immigrants have arrived in recent decades. Some 85 percent come from Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. Most arrived lacking the academic, language and labor skills to compete for high-paying jobs.”
This is the result of unlimited chain migration.
There is a great amount of honest work needing doing that doesn’t require university degrees. All honest work is commendable and to be honored. (And a lot of university-educated people show very little inclination to work, really, and many have less real work skills than those uneducated immigrants). I think the issue is largely that the immigrants tend to be hired because they work better than some of our own kids (or certainly the lazy bum kids who live next door - who complain about the crappy job market BHusseinO has created for them- but who really won’t work much anyway. This latter reason is why many of them stay unemployed while business hires immigrants who do want to work. Sounds harsh if u or ur kid is looking for a job, but then its all our lazy neighbors who poison the job well for you and me because the employers need reliable, productive workers and not the indolent, insolent pot-soaked son of a hippy next door) . Or something like that anyway. We need to get our own house in order and not just blame everything on immigrants (and yes, we need to limit their numbers during our recession ayt least, too, and screen out the muslim terrorists amongst them)
