Trump means better jobs and better pay.

     The mainstream media has jumped on Donald Trump for making a few extemporaneous comments about a lot of illegal Mexican immigrants who end up committing crimes.  However, what I want to focus on are the legal Mexican immigrants who are angry with Trump over those comments.

If waves of millions of illegal immigrants keep washing across our borders, crimes will be the least of the worries of the individual Latinos who have legal status and work at low-pay jobs.  Economically, when dozens of low-skilled laborers start competing with the jobs the legals do, wages are going to be pushed way down.  And, when one considers the trend of the Democrats--to establish higher and higher minimum wages--that will actually wipe out low-wage work completely if those laws are applied.

However, what does Donald Trump have to offer?  He is a businessman--and, a billionaire at that.  He has a philosophy that is pro-business.  President Trump will not only streamline America's immigration system; he will improve the economy better than any other Presidential contender.

To conceptualize what it will be like, contrast what Americans have become complacently used to over the last seven years.  It used to be that one applied at a lot of prospective employers and then chose the job one wanted from all of the offers.  Now the aspiration is simply the desperate goal: "to find a job".  It used to be that there were several employers in one's area who offered different levels of pay--according to economic factors.  Now, for many, jobs just start at "minimum wage"--or, "alternative minimum wage" in places that would devastate local economies and low-skilled workers.

So, what would Donald Trump do?  It's quite simple.  While it is true that for vast numbers, his policies would result in "jobs", what few are explaining is that President Donald Trump means "better jobs", and as the economy pulls out of the Democrat death plunge, "better pay".
