Its true and valid. There is plenty I would give up. Id be happy with almost everything as it was decades back. I dont need a cell phone or want one. I do like computers and the Internet and the information I can get from there.
Id much rather have local sourced food, I dont need Chilean grapes in January. Id pay more to have gear not made in China. None of my system is made there except maybe some parts in my Trivista SACD. I paid more for my Stihl chainsaw because it is US made but with some Mexican parts.
If we had more fair distribution of wealth those so called dirty jobs would pay enough and have benefits and be easy to fill by Americans. I really suprised people dont understand this issue.
We do have the vote and the power via the vote to change all this. As long as politics are full of money and this false paradigm from these two shitty parties from our terrible and cynical media all will play right into theo power structures hands. This is witnessed by our terrible voter turnout.

.., it is safe to say that our economy would suffer, and suffer seriously at that.
It might be possible to eliminate the use of migrants in a gradually implemented plan but it's not as if we can simply load them all into buses or planes and revolutionize our economy and our way of life by the end of the year, or even by the end of the decade. Obama and Clinton admit this, while Trump pretends not to know and/or is not willing to publicly admit this.... or is simply DUMB.
We'll see what is going to happen, it WILL be interesting.
HBO's Vice covered the story as well. Fascinating.
In order to efficiently do many of the labor-intensive tasks necessary for our survival, a person needs to be born into a "CULTURE OF LABOR".The ability to bend, stoop, reach, pick, carry, etc.., endlessly in the hot sun is not something that you simply DECIDE to do one day after you finish grade school or even high school. A certain mentality is involved and it is years in the making. A strong adult body is NOT enough.
So, one could say that the diploma a truly good *professional* laborer earns has been years in the making. So, the professional laborer's "training" begins early on in childhood and refinement continues all the way up through adulthood.
Thinking of it as the NEURO-MUSCULAR EQUIVALENT OF AN ADVANCED DEGREE IN SCHOLASTICS, it follows that the *professional laborer's* "diploma" should be considered as being just as prestigious and at least as valuable as any other type of diploma. Why then do we not respect and reward our blue-collar "scholars" the same way we reward our white-collar ones?
We desperately NEED thousands or even millions of scholars like these every bit as much (um, dare I say "MORE"?) as we need the types of scholars who sit in air-conditioned rooms all day long reading and tapping away on keyboards.
Not only are muscle cells in no way inferior to, or less valuable than, brain cells are but no amount of willpower can take the place of *acculturization* when it comes to LIVING THE LIFE as described.
I know, because I've tried to do it.
Believe me when I say the best professional laborers are PURE GOLD...

Many will self deport after receiving deportation notice , simple as that.
If economy must depend on slave labor , something is seriously wrong with it. My 2 cents
.
I dont want to deport anyone. I never mentioned it. I want to prosecute, fine and jail those that hire illegals.
