[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What will be interesting is he wants to bring tarriffs but we don't have enough manufacturing and most Americans don't want those jobs.  And, those he plans to deport also do other critical jobs.[/quote]

I disagree that Americans don’t want those jobs. Dh comes from a rural town that had a big manufacturing plant that was shipped to Mexico. They were good jobs and most people working there liked it. I think unions were a bit crazy and drove the plant out of town, not just the wage difference between Mexicans and Americans.

In his town bachelors degrees aren’t common. Those who have them are nurses, teachers or accountants. So there aren’t too many jobs open to people without degrees, but are still willing to be trained. [/quote]

We're talking about cleaning animal innards out of machines, not working in a car manufacturing plant that moved to Mexico. We're talking about men carrying trash cans on their backs filled with bricks out of houses being renovated and dumping them into dumpsters outside. We're talking about standing alongside paving machines emitting sickening fumes on 95 degree humid days, for 9 hours at a time. We're talking about the crew who comes into office buildings as everyone else leaves so they can stay all night cleaning toilets. I don't want those jobs for my kids. I'm lucky these sh** jobs that are low-paying enough to keep our country moving are an improvement over what's available in other countries.

No thank you to those jobs, and a big hats off to those who work them for low pay.[/quote]
