it was rural American voters who feel their jobs were and are being threatened because of an endless line of immigrants coming into rural America to compete for jobs.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire. Ouch.

" it was rural American voters who feel their jobs were and are being threatened because of an endless line of immigrants"

Then maybe they should try migrating. Ya know what's funny? The further one is from the border, the more they complain about it.

But the plight of rural America is FAR more about technology than it is about immigration. Technology has allowed most goods and services to be sourced by fewer and fewer mega corporations and rural America no longer contributes much to that process. And DumbF Trump doesn't even have that one on his radar screen for 100 years IIRC.

I think just to drive home the point, the Dems should vote to fund Trump's wall, be only if a rider is attached that the construction must be done 100% by robots. Then numbnuts might understand the issue, and his dumb voters as well. Fox can visit the under construction wall early and often and show nightly videos of the robots building the wall to keep all those browned skin job seekers out of el Norte. You think that might work for Fox and Friends viewers?

"When do we get to vote on the number?>>>>>
"When you vote for president!"
"You're playing games with this issue wharf - when it deserves a serious discussion"

I'm surprised you didn't ask me what my favorite number is. Up until I read we have more jobs than job-seekers, I cudda voted for zero, or ZPG, anyway. We prolly should let some in, until all those jobs are filled by robots.
