The reason for Trump’s support has a lot to do with the fact, I feel that a lot of ‘white’ americans actually don’t like any immigrants…
We have met some of these people and there is a reason that a lot of people has LEFT California for places like Colorado or other states with less immigrants.
It’s just not the America they like to live in or be a part of.
As an immigrant, I’d honestly say that I don’t care for much immigrants either…either legal or illegal…even though we were the legal kind many years ago.
It’s great for corporations to have cheaper labor and all that, but if you a regular wage slave doing any job (even higher skilled tech work), having a ton more people wanting to do that job or ANY job isn’t going to help your situation. Wages have and will go down and has already for a lot of tech work…or has already been outsourced outside the country.
You have people here who feel that you just need to keep up and all that, and that’s true to a point, but most work can be taught/learned I feel (in tech) and at the end of the day, no matter the skill, if tens of thousands of people do the same work as you, it’ll affect your job security and pay…simple as that (supply/demand).
Also, this is critical, as you get older, good luck keeping up with kids and a spouse…
In my 20s, I worked non-stop keeping/up getting ahead in tech, but after a bit, your body and simple age discrimination and if you have family (see this already from people I hear from), you will lose out since you can’t work as much as the younger and the immigrant.
