I don’t know Trumps popularity, I often suspect it’s much like the Germans thrall with Hitler in the 30s. Some probably are as flu asserts, most I suspect just feel a generalized resentment.
I won’t debate the merits of H1bs, used as intended and implied it’s beneficial, personally, I’ve seen it misused far more than used appropriately.. Both illegal immigration, and it’s real,problem counterpart, illegal labor, and H1bs both, IMHO, result in a degradation of our employee quality of life as they’re being utilized today. Not because of the people but because of the exploitive business practices.
BG often asserts that Americans won’t do the meat packing jobs many illegals are doing. She’s probably right, IMHO the reality is cwe shouldn’t be expecting illegals or anybody to work in those conditions.
The voter resentment, I suspect, can’t put that into words, but they see and feel the impacts regularly even while reaping the benefits, low cost meat. They’re anger, IMHO, is misplaced at the H1bs or illegals and instead should be directed at the companies and politicians gaming the system, reaping mass profits while exploiting everything at their expense.
