Questionable votes. Identity politics. Cheap labor. Working class resentment.
Maybe trite in 2018 but it bears repeating that each hot-button issue clearly defines how lax borders have fractured America.
Annually however 1.5 million legal immigrants still enter the United States. But why? Do we really need the added strain on national infrastructure? Does anyone outside the flyover states care?
That number of course doesnt account for an estimated 12.5 million undocumented aliens which already distend their host lands fiscal industrial and political sectors.
Such imposing statistics naturally create rifting edginess among Americas generations-old working class.
Though heartland anxieties further heighten alongside Democratic vitriol aimed at President Trumps immigration policies.
Since January 20 2017 progressives have routinely flouted ICE protocol. Moreover several blue states have used every conceivable measure to fortify or create new sanctuary areas to help illegal immigrants succeed against tax-paying American counterparts in direct job market competition.
In light of this bush-league politicking middle-American outrage is expected and real.
For each day lifelong U.S. citizens witness prospects of upward mobility diminish amid rapidly shifting demographics: shifts made to solely further the political and financial interests of Americas top one percent.
That rapacious one percent led by politicians donors and CEOs have unleashed an irrevocable schism across American society. With obscene wealth they have also altered national labor practices and voting laws in order to remain on top.
Recent statistics show that 3 million illegal aliens cast a ballot in the 2016 Presidential election a number sure to rise in 2020 and beyond. Further reliable data finds 20 percent of American workers are either legal or illegal immigrants again another number which is sure to rise in coming years.
Facing those bleak obstacles the only recourse for Americas marginalized rural working class was to make a booming political statement.
However the ensuing identity politics devised by leftists to shout down this conservative rebuke border on asinine as well as petty.
Labels such as racist xenophobe and intolerant are favored by elites and their adherents to shame an already beleaguered majority-white voting bloc which simply fought for basic survival in this changing climate. Who could blame the red-wave though?
Many of these Trumpers also gave decades of service to their employer and community yet now face the prospects of unemployment character assault and neighbors they cannot communicate with. And these incoming neighbors stubbornly in many instances refuse to learn English.
Such as much is enough to anger anyone. And it isnt racist or xenophobic to show that frustration. Though many working-class Americans do remain politically silent today for fear of being labeled a bigot.
Its a tough time for conservatives who simply wish the immigration laws of this country are upheld.
