    going from nationalism to racial genetic superiority
    hate to pull a Godwin, but how do you really go from a Bernie Bro to a full blown Nazi in like 2 years? 5 years?

    Befuddling, tbh...

    Desperation to belong to something. These people can't think for themselves, they find the club they want to belong to and repeat the platform.

    How much time? America was basically built by people from different cultures, some people fleeing world wars that didn't speak even a bit of English.

    Prognostication is easy, but history isn't really on your side.
    It was built from many different cultures. Now it's being built overwhelmingly from one country and there is no sign of that changing.

    You guys are pathetic acting like I definitely attributed iq to genetics. It's merely a possibility. Therefore a risk. If it takes generations to change and a potential other factor being economic opportunity then perhaps we should stop handicapping the market with a surplus of low skilled workers. Especially in an era of automation where the problem can quickly get much worse.

    Just to offer a little counter balance on the matter in WW2 black and white Americans had kids with German women and the iq of those from what I read was basically identical.

    You want smart people digging ditches?

    Or did you lose your job to a low IQ immigrant?

    I don't get your gripe
    We don't need more low skilled workers. We have a surplus and continuously adding more it detrimental to current Americans. Prioritizing illegals is especially egregious way to serve the American people.

    You'll have to say what part of the workforce is lacking in properly skilled workers and how this will ultimately send our sociey plummeting in a downward spiral of doom.

    Unprecedented levels of immigration. Overwhelmingly from a concentrated location for decades now which is also unprecedented.

    The counter to that is not "do you want smart ditch diggers".

    They are detrimental to poor Americans because they lower their wages. That's enough of a reason. If we have to tax the skilled/rich excessively to take care of a surplus of low skilled workers the US will be hindered.

    "They are detrimental to poor Americans because they lower their wages."

    Even if that dubious, hilarious bull were true, the oligarchy has lowered non-poor wages, stagnant real household income, for 40 years.

    I'm not trying to counter. It's your soapbox. You've got my attention. I'm trying to ask you for a specific example regarding your claim. You'd rather monologue in vagueness.

    Maryland's Trump country wants its seasonal workers back

    The crabbing industry in Hoopers Island, Maryland, has been decimated by the Trump administration's visa caps, NBC News reported Tuesday.

    Hoopers Island lies in a county that overwhelmingly voted for President Trump,

    but now that peak crabbing season has begun,

    locals are disappointed that new policies have negatively affected small businesses.

    The Trump administration this year restricted H-2B visas, which allow seasonal employees to come from abroad with temporary work authorization.

    On Hoopers Island, 40 percent of the H-2B visas have vanished, leaving crabbing businesses without much-needed labor.

    In past years, the town would receive 500 visas, many of which would go to Mexican women who would come pick crab meat during the busy season.

    This year, only 300 were approved, leaving the entire supply chain in flux.

    Without enough crab pickers, some business have shut down,

    reports
    NBC News.

    Locals say they can't find any Americans willing to do the job,

    and say the important industry is suffering due to the restrictions.

    As happens every time Repugs redluce, shut off foreign labor, US businesses are hurt badly.

    Trump supporters suffer unintended consequences of his policies

    THE BIG IDEA: President Trump sometimes seems seems? impervious to the second and third order consequences of his decisions.

    Several recent developments have highlighted the unintended — though often foreseeable — consequences the president’s policies are having on his own supporters.

    Here are four examples:

    -- Small business owners who voted for Trump might be forced to shut down because the president is making it harder for them to hire guest workers.

    -- General Motors is cutting its second shift at the Lordstown Assembly plant outside of Youngtown, Ohio, next month. The move could cost 1,500 jobs at the 3,000-employee plant that builds the Chevrolet Cruze.

    -- Ironically, gas prices might go up because Trump pulled out of the Iranian nuclear agreement last week.

    -- The president’s decision to pull out of the Iran deal, and reimpose sanctions, will cost Boeing contracts worth as much as $20 billion to replenish Iran’s aging fleet of commercial planes.

    Those jobs will now go to other countries — specifically Russia. “Russian aircraft makers, who can skirt the U.S. sanctions, are already working on deals,”

    -- The trade war with China is increasing uncertainty for farmers and may still lead to punishing retaliatory tariffs.

    "seems"?

    Quick changes in the market are often difficult to adjust to. This is overall meaningless. Also if extra labor is absolutely needed then a legal process is fine. Their inability adjust quickly after building dependence is not evidence of that though.

    If that's the case then it just increases the supply for low skilled work.

    The larger problem is that you appear to be ill informed or not informed at all, but that doesn't stop you from launching inane pla udes.

    The problem is some are blinded from potential issues. Regardless of whether or not iq is a fixable issue it still seemingly takes generations to fix said issue. We do not need that at this point. And this really isn't relevant on the issue of illegals or low skilled immigrants because you can highlight them being problematic very easily in other ways. At this point though we can stick to getting rid of the law breaking illegals. Which everyone should agree on if they care about poor Americans.
