[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have lived in 3 of those states. People are really really intolerant of different people. It is scary. [/quote]
I lived in pa.  Lived there for forty years.   People are very warm.  I grew up when Vietnamese were welcomed at ft indiantown gap.  All the churches helped place the immigrants

What people don't like is the overwhelming immigration when there're are not enough jobs    Is that so hard for educated elites in Bethesda to understand????[/quote]
If you are white and US-born, your perception of "the good old days" is likely different to those of actual immigrants living there at that time. The entire history of the US is filled with waves of immigrants being discriminated against for at least a generation or two.

And I challenge your assertion about jobs right now. The US is currently seeing historic unemployment rates. The problem is that most jobs are menial and don't pay well. Sure, immigration is a factor in keeping wages low, but it's not the only one. Large corporate employers are greedy, and smaller employers have artificial constraints on how much they can pay because the bulk of earnings goes to a select few so even with a humming economy most people can't afford to pay a lot more for goods and services than they are currently paying. Find a way to address wage stagnation and corporate greed, and things will turn around. And here's a hint, President Trump is not going to be the one to address those things.
