#1 It takes "willful blindness" not to have seen this coming. Suppose, just suppose, you are a Small-Business Owner in a Big City run by an entrenched Democratic Machine. Now then: looking at 8 more years of Obama-style Labor Laws and ever-rising cost of government mandates -- 'Why would you hire 'unskilled labor' that you would be unable to fire in the future?'

#2 In some sectors of the construction market, if you have a pulse and a driver's license, you can get a job...you do not need to be Einstein to drive a nail or fly a warehouse broom...and it pays much better than those wonderful service industry jobs the media and everyone else thinks are so wonderful.

After all, working with your hands is icky. AND geez, you have to be stupid to work on a job that doesn't use a computer to do the work.

The average wages in construction are about 2x that of the service industry...suck on that millennials.

#3 Less academically credentialed Americans.

Once the welfare state to the rich establishment (of which subsidized migration is just one) is cut off, Americans will be far wealthier.

Add to that 'welfare' (AID $$$) to foreign entities, involvement in mindless ME conflicts.
