You do realize that barring a change in the Constitution, there is no way that Trump will be still president "by the end of the next decade", don't you?

Oh, I suppose Trump could decide not to run in 2020, then run again four years later and somehow win...but he will be 81 years old by the end of the next decade, and I expect he will be long gone from the White House and that his residual influence will be sparse by that time. I expect whoever follows him will have a LOT to undo and correct, in fact...

(Adding that perhaps I am misunderstanding what you mean by "the end of the next decade" - that could be interpreted to mean either ten years from now, i.e. 2027 - or 2029, which would literally be "the end of the next decade" In either case, it's highly improbable that Trump would still be President).

Really?? Guess he never "set his mind" to making Trump University successful, or avoiding all those business bankruptcies, or settling with various construction workers, or making either of his first two marriages work....

You do realize that not all of your claimed "11 million" undocumented people hold jobs, don't you? Some are children, some are old people, some are women who are not employed outside the home...and many of those who do work do grunt work that most Americans view poorly: stoop labor harvesting crops. Yard maintenance. Construction.

And so on.

Why bother, when Trump and his cronies and followers provide so much free entertainment?

It's a fairly bold number considering the oncoming automation and AI wave (we're talking about everyone from truck drivers to financial advisers becoming obsolete), but within the realm of possibility. Some of the same people who voted for Trump will be voting for wage subsidies and guaranteed basic income in the not-to-distant future.

If 25 million could keep their jobs with Hillary and Obama picking the winners and losers that would have been seen as a success.

So you're saying no one bats 1000 all the time. Can't argue with that.

I can only hope so but I don't think they'll be the kind of jobs that base voters are hoping for. I also don't think Americans are going to rush into the jobs illegal immigrants are in now.

In addition to the number being a lie and those jobs being available to Americans who are actually willing to do the work, it's also interesting to note that the person spouting these numbers seemingly thinks that those 11 million illegals cause no job creation. They apparently do not rent homes, buy cars, clothe themselves, or consume food.
