and why do you only talk about Hispanic illegals ????
Republicans conveniently ignore the fact that big business loves exploiting undocumented workers. The GOP is establishment is against immigration reform precisely because companies love having a giant underclass of workers they can pay lower than the minimum wage. Until there is a path to citizenship, you'll have undocumented workers driving down wages. Unfortunately for us, the Republican party is completely owned by corporate interests.

I don't think Democrats gave up on the blue collar worker, I think the blue collar worker is just unwilling to accept that their type of jobs are no longer viable in the modern world and nobody is going to bring them back. They believed the lie that Trump would bring coal and manufacturing back, which is the only reason they voted for him instead of Democrats.

Meanwhile, thanks largely to decades of uncontested Democrat rule, life for blacks who live disproportionately in our inner-cities, has only worsened. Failed schools, violent crime, fatherless homes, government dependency, and being taken for granted by Democrats, has resulted in a community as forgotten and ignored as the Rustbelt working class.
In other words they thought they had them in the bag.

Your supposition here is that American manufacturing will never come back. Why is this acceptable to you?

There is one guy standing with working Americans and he is now President, but don't think for a minute corporate whores on both sides of the isle wouldn't love get rid of him.
