I love hearing things like immigration problem. We are a nation of immigrants. Immigrants that have stolen the lands from the natives of America. One of our national symbols states "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
And we have the nerve to say immigrant problem. What would all of the amp guys do without the asain immigrants anyway.

We have been maxed out on immigrants both legal and illegal for at least 10 years. Nowadays it is literally ruining allot of the American way of life we enjoyed up till about 15 - 20 years ago.
Look around. It use to be a man could enjoy a good middle class living as a carpenter or electrician. The entire construction industry in Texas is literally 98% people from across the border. That good opportunity for us before is a thing of the past now.
Look around again. Our general public school system is suffering tremendously because of this. Nowadays if the baby boomer parents want their kids to have anything close to what they had in school they are being forced to put their kids in private schools. Only the well off can afford that. I am sure allot of the public school teachers that entered the field starting about 15 years or so ago have by know thrown up their hands and said screw it, this sucks and it is not fun and have either gone into the private school sector or have changed careers altogether. It is a real crisis for sure.
Not trying to be a hater. Some of my best friends at work over the years and some of the highest character people I have had the pleasure of being around have been of a different color. I was born and have lived my whole life on the west side of the metroplex except for when away in college and I know first hand what is was like then compared to now. That is why I am 100% behind some of the things Trump says he will do.
I hope Trump can get out of his own way and do a great job and not be impeached.
