    No one wants a border wall, including Republicans

    Both Dems and Repubs. Neither party gives a crap about them except for what they can gain from them.

    That should get you started, as always, links should be taken only as starting points for further triangulation and due diligence.
    Thank you for the links. From all of your links it seems it was not the GI Bill that was the problem, but the lack of access to higher education, especially in the racist southern states.

    Weren't the southern states controlled by DEMOCRATS during the Jim Crow era?

    You and Trump undoubtedly would have considered her dirty and poor, a pathetic excuse of a person to be allowed to immigrate.

    It might have taken her many years, but she acquired new skills, received additional education, got herself ensconced in an honorable career, and most importantly lived a life as a contributing member of the community and raised two outstanding daughters who are model citizens.

    The people this country could actually really do without are the barely educated, buck toothed hillbilly racists that support Trump.
    god you continuously miss ideas -so much I don't even bother with your posts unless you quote me.

    Here's the deal. Your aunt and my greats immigrated when unskilled labor was still needed.
    Learn how to brick build or just work as a concrete laborer or in steel mills etc.
    They country was expanding. all labor was needed.

    But now unskilled labor is becoming more and more surplus.
    Self serve checkouts / ordering online without using an operator ( a major sin!) /
    and jobs like yard work here in Florida are already filled . even taxi drivers ( think NYCity) have competition from Uber

    So when we have about 1 million a year illegally coming in what does that mean?
    Less available jobs and more labor = depressing wages.

    I would suggest you separate legal immigration from illegals -legals have quotas.
    Further you should be thinking "merit based" immigration,,,but you won't.

    You're like the rest of the Dems who blindly believe all immigration is just fine,
    open borders are the natural state of man -and since Trump is in favor of curbing illegal immigration
    reactionary Dems must oppose Trump! da resistance!

    Although a larger percentage of Hillary's voters were in the lower income categories.

    Under $30,000: Clinton 53% v. 41% Trump
    $30,000-49,999: Clinton 51% v. 47% Trump
    $50,000-99,999: Trump 50% v. 46% Clinton
    $100,000-199,999: Trump 48% v. 47% Clinton
    $200,000-249,999: Trump 49% v. 48% Clinton
    $250,000-or more: Trump 48% v. 46% Clinton

    Democrats defend uneducated poor illegal immigrants but attack the Trump voters they also (inaccurately) call uneducated and poor.

    "Poorer" has more meanings than merely "low income." I'm sure we all know what "dirtier" signifies.

    Awesome job, sticking up for bigotry. You never fail to deliver!

    take that sanctimonious claptrap outta here
    ( but welcome back to JPP)
    I specifically said "dirtier"was a gratuitious slap.
    But I also mentioned you have to distinguish between illegal and legal immigrants
