21. It's just sure plain scapegoating

Mexicans took their jobs. Mexicans have health care they don't have. It's all lies. The bottom line-make someone else suffer because nothing is going to make your life better. It's really about being mean and evil. And dumb. The jobs are not coming back. The jobs aren't there. Automation took them. Real jobs require real education.

Everyone is now free to pick their own produce and mow their own lawns and work construction. I guess those are the jobs Trumpers want. Because those are immigrant jobs-let's see the Trumpers live off of those with Trumpcare that covers nothing.
