Immigration

Let's be honest. When we talk about immigration we're not speaking of immigrants from New Zealand or Nova Scotia. We're talking mainly about Mexicans and anyone who is Muslim or Islamic.
For some it's an abstract thought as you might not run into these people in your day to day life.
Yes. The overwhelming majority of us in the states are products of immigration from somewhere. I get that. And I'm not against immigration, but there are things to take into consideration.
As far as terrorism. I don't know how you weed out the crazies. Again, it seems more relevant to where you live. Not a lot happening in the cornfields of Nebraska. But if you live in a major city and ride a train everyday, or fly frequently, or use the subway often, your nerves may be a little on edge.
I live in an area where if I go out I will see a immigrant within ten minutes. They make up a large part of the work force.
The area I grew up in-about an hour from here-I would see an immigrant as soon as I stepped out of my home or car. There they are an overwhelming majority of the work force and community.
If you googled that town it would say it's 5% Hispanic and that would be Puerto Rican. But the Mexicans are there. Hiding in plain sight. Most evident in the schools which are about 60% Mexican. Do I want them to get a good education? Of course. But these parents pay absolutely no taxes. So, imagine that you are paying taxes-pretty steep taxes actually-and programs at school keep getting cut because there's no money. And there's no money because most of the funds go towards paying for families who pay for no services.
This is just one example of what frustrates people.
If you're living in Idaho this probably isn't even on your radar.
Mr. Trump is very familiar with Mexicans. His clothing lines are produced in Mexico, so he has no need for them to be in the states.
But, there lies the solution. Don't hire illegal immigrants and they would leave within a week.
But that's not going to happen. Too much money to be made.
Companies subcontract out most of their work like cleaning, food, landscaping. They get very good rates that way. So the big company hires 'Amy's Cleaning'. Amy's Cleaning has 5 employees on the books. All born in the USA. But she has another 100 employees off the books who get paid in cash. If by some fluke she gets caught she happily pays a small fine (cause she's made a LOT of money off the books), and then regroups as 'Becky's Cleaning'. No one is looking. There's just too much money to be made.
As far as there's room for all....yes, there is, but....immigrants usually go to where there's work. They're not going to towns with population of 500. And the competition for jobs is often a sore spot.
Yes. Of course, there are those -from all countries -who come legally and pay taxes and are wonderful additions to the community. Even the illegal people are great additions to the community. Diversity is wonderful.
So, no. I'm not against immigration, but I just wanted to shed a little light on why some people are saying enough is enough.
I guess what I'm trying to get across is to not listen to Trump who clearly has his own agenda, but DO listen to what some of his supporters have to say. Listen to what is frustrating and/or frightening them. Even if it's silly or stupid to us it's not for them. Treating Trump supporters like they are part of a freak show isn't going to help them see the light.
