There is a lot of truth to this statement but the important question is why. You try to tag it to Reagan but I would argue it actually started after he left office and gained momentum under Clinton with NAFTA, aka Ross Perot's "great sucking sound as jobs left US, unfair trade deals with China et al that hollowed out our manufacturing sector, vastly increased immigration, legal and illegal, which put downward pressure on salaries( which is the point of it after all), Fed and government policy that rewarded and bailed out Wall Street but screwed small savers, and the obscene increases in CEO and other high level compensation. Another factor clearly is affirmative action, which disproportionately impacts smart but poor white kids in getting into universities. The elites take care of their own. They could give a shit about anyone else, but they make a show of obsessing over POC, immigrants etc. Why not? They're not the ones paying the price for it.
And open borders will help how? Oh, I see. By adding tens of millions of more people per year who also need to be raised up, while the existing Americans are left even further behind.
There was some imbalance in our trade deals, which included NAFTA, but it did not have the impact that you claim. We did go on an open market bender for a long time and that was ridiculous. Trade pacts need to be designed in a way that increases opportunity, not only reduces prices. I have a lot to say on this but I’d like to stick to what is prescient here. The otherizing and demeaning of Americans in poverty is below the office of the president. Trump brings us back o new lows and tries to divide us even further. Baltimore, Maryland is in his jurisdiction as president of the United States. He has now insulted an entire city he is supposed to be leading! This is why Trump is so ineffective as President, he cannot find good will anywhere because he spoils people’s faith.
I’m sorry but why are you coming to me with this? The last democrat did a way better job with controlling our border and deportations.
And when he left all the dems ran to the courts to make sure that the door was propped wide open and keeps going in that direction. What have dems down in the last couple years to help with the border problem. Oh, I see. You have come up with 26 dem candidates who are all running on open borders. That would be one -of many- reasons that I am coming at you on this Cowboy.
You’re being pimped by a clown. What does that make you? When this whole charade comes crashing down I will be here to remind you that I told you the entire time that you were being lied to.
Did you ever think of becoming a Visiting Angel working in Chappaqa, New York for Hillary? You clearly have the dedication and servile manner required for that position.
Caring for the aged and disabled is important and we need to do more for them. Saying these people are somehow servile in a derogatory manner does not do justice to the important work they do. They are under appreciated and underpaid.
