21. A lot who voted for her claim that it was the fence that made them vote for her.

The fence is a fantasy. It is always tough to disprove a fantasy. Some of the people who voted for Lesko claimed that immigrants were taking jobs from recent high school grads, maybe if those grads are willing to work long hard days in hot sun for minimal pay, then yes, but I doubt ex high schoolers would want those jobs, nor would they want to sweat in a hot assed restaurant kitchen for 8 hours with almost no break.
