“And these two problems are why you see employers always asking for more legal immigrants.” (and illegals under the table too)

I agree. We’ve (not we the people, but our Congress and Presidents) have exported our jobs and imported poverty. The USA could deal with a 10-15% underclass but not a 40% which is where we are headed. I blame it on those who made treaties and failed to enforce laws.

When manufacturing jobs were plentiful, and were used to make the products we Americans used, our economy hummed along pretty good and Americans paid taxes that fed the system, and that kept us out of trouble debt wise too.

PS: Sorry for the PM, meant to post it and pushed the wrong button.

Computers and internet not only made modern trade and outsourcing possible but it also made automation like at grocery stores possible. Companies here can email their components in China and its very easy for Chinese to learn to read and write English.

In fact the computer itself killed millions of jobs replacing paper forms hand filled out.

I am skeptical that a Trump like protectionism would have worked.,

Obama scammed many of the public that government spending on green energy would create jobs that couldn't be exported,
Those jobs left here too and they took the bailed out GM jobs with them .
