Simply because far too many of the rest of us act like deadbeats born thinking the world owes them a living from cradle to grave. They are too dead ass lazy to carry their own weight for society. Along with the illegal aliens they are seen as hardly worthy of any crumbs.

But when are Republican employers going to quit hiring illegals? Will it simply continue as long as Democrats are sympathetic, if not, fully agreeable to what those Republicans employers are doing? I wonder if Trump hires illegals at his resorts.

Seems to me that I made due and got my share of the Pizza. Then again I made myself valuable to my employer so that I got promoted. On top of this I developed skills that I could market as a second source of income.
No college degree, just a dirt poor farm boy. If I can do it, I would guess most everybody else can too.

Heavy equipment Mechanics are always in demand. Electricians and Plumbers, welders etc. I worked in a factory for 27 years, on the side I had a machine shop that did repairs on farm equipment, welding and fabrication. I retired at 55 because I wasn't lazy.

Those on the left will say, but, no fair, you had skills and a good job, we deserve what you have so you should have to pay more taxes. Never Great, can you teach a few kids your skills so that they can do what you did. I did in fact teach my son and he is earning more today than I did before retirement.

Trump likely does very little hiring personally. That's why he likely has an HR department.

I would guess thatDemodrats hire their fair share of illegals as well. After all they are always defending illegals. 13+ million illegals. That is a lot of Republican businesses.

That sounds like a commercial for one of those shady for-profit technical schools.

“Do you want to make $100,000 without a college degree? A degree from Rectangle Tech will guarantee it. Just listen to one of our graduates: ‘I used to be a loser making minimum wage. Then I got a degree from Rectangle Tech, got hired as a plumber, and made enough money to retire at age 35!’”

But all those jobs require you to get your hands dirty. The people without pizza want a job where you are required to wash your hands after going to the restroom, not before.

Why does a degree cost so much today. What party pretty much controls the education propaganda machine? I think we all know don't we.
