The left has stated that they support "the middle class" and the "working man". However, Obama's top economic advisor has revealed in detail that the open doors immigration policy has reduced the middle class, increased the "wealth gap", and created a permanent cohort of unemployed US citizens.


Obama's Top Economist Admits Feds' Jobs Policy as Painful as Five Recessions


As I have always said, liberal policy CREATES the large wealth gap and is the worst enemy of the American middle class and working Americans.

Want to make America a nation of serfs governed by a smaller and smaller group of wealthy elites? Vote Democrat.

Despite killing the economic future of working Americans, liberals want more.

Exactly. They want you to demand the shackles that restrict you from living the highest standard of living possible. Those shackles are called government, and they have colluded with corporations to enslave humanity in ways never imagined before. Very disturbing the way some citizens beg for it.

Another recession, and the power transfer will be complete. Slavery will be back in business once again, thanks to dumbycrats. Quite fitting, as they have always been the party of slavery and oppression.

Working class Americans demand health care & other benefits so they are seen as 'high maintenance'. Immigrants are willing to do twice the work for half the cost & no benefits. Same with outsourcing jobs. You get more workers & have to pay way less. You just need to pay extra attention to quality control. Immigrants are happy to get 24x7 electricity & running water. Having a job is a big luxury. Retirement & other benefits are way out of reach for immigrants in their own countries so these things are not deal breakers. Employers have tapped into this 'neediness' of immigrants & using them to replace 'diva' working class Americans.

Where specifically in that BrietBart article does "Obama's economic advisor admit that open doors immigration is killing working Americans"?

Have you always said Ronald Reagan is a liberal Democrat also? Apparently he did not support the middle or working classes. Did you look at the chart on the link you posted? You believe that there have been nothing but liberal Dems in office since 1960?

"...In 1986, Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act, which granted amnesty to 2.7 million undocumented immigrants who had arrived in the U.S. before 1982, had a clean record and registered with the Selective Service. Critics of the law, however, have pointed out that it failed to crack down on future waves of illegal immigration..."

Your argument simply contributes to the illogical blind partisan hatred of many in this country today, which prevents a real dialog or solution from ever happening. This is certainly not the fault of "liberal Democrats." It is a policy that all of the admins since the war have helped make.

We live in a country where reaching the middle class requires a decent income. I would hardly call that being a "diva" American. These greedy employers don't care about anyone but themselves and their profits. There is no loyalty to this country or its citizens and our corrupt government allows it.
