A Cry in the Darkness

As we slide further into the Conservative Abyss, a few of us who remember the New Deal and what having a real Middle Class have something to say to add fuel to the teabag fire.

It’s a Lie!

“They are stealing your jobs, deport them all” ....it is complex, all human conditions are complex; when a person gets up in front of you and over and over declares it is “easy” or “simple to fix”, they are LYING TO YOU!

Demographically the United States is entering an era of low personnel availability. The Baby Boom is aging and retiring in record numbers.  Birth control became available to the masses in the mid-sixties (most of you don’t remember because you weren’t born yet).

I remember the reaction!  Suddenly taking a pill was relative assurance that a mother could control how many children they had.  Remember this was in the 1960s?  That is just 50 plus years ago...

So before that era of real family planning started we have much of the Baby Boom, that are all in their 60s.  And they are retiring fast.

Leaving a demographic way short of the jobs that are available even with the reductions in some jobs caused by outsourcing.

So.....Trump is full of shit.

Yes he is full of shit.  Immigrants are NOT stealing “our” jobs.  Immigrants are filling a couple needs.  Unskilled labor still exists in the United States, in agriculture mostly.  And the drop in quite frankly white Americans because of birth control, has resulted in an net  labor shortage in unskilled labor in agriculture.

Ever wonder why California and other agricultural states have actually encouraged “illegal immigrants”?  Simply put, nobody is available in non immigrant communities to work in their fields!  It is really that simple.  I mean they advertise and without brown workers NOBODY applies!

Do immigrants take white Americans jobs?   Yes; in the high tech area.  Americans have an educational system they have ignored for years.  Conservatives have a political theory that calls for less government, and for some insane reason they have turned their scorn on public education...This has repressed teacher salaries and benefits, teachers are the first fired with state cutbacks (see Kansas) and so a flight from teaching is occurring right now.  Math and science teachers are impossible to find...simply impossible.

How do I know.  I do WASC Accreditation’s...there is an acute shortage of teachers for k-12 education at the crisis level!

So some districts are recruiting overseas.  Our largest competitors still believe in education.  They are graduating many more per capita math and science majors.  If you want a code maker you look to India or Pakistan.

But Trump was elected because of the false assumption that illegal immigrants were stealing American’s jobs.  That simply is a lie.

And now, with “full employment” he is pushing hard to deport millions, including Dreamers who were children when their parents brought them to America.  Many of these Dreamers are code writers in the computer industry...many are teachers who we desperately need.

And this with a labor shortage just beginning.  This will cripple the American economy fast.  It will retard any growth.  It is very serious and the blond wonder knows it.  But hey, it works right...so he keeps up the lie.  It gets white supremacy back in power.

It is all a lie!
