28. You know, it looks like many will have to learn from experience.

Pete Seeger once said: Education is what you get when you read
the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't.

It looks like many Americans will learn from the school of hard
knocks because they literally can't see the fine print.

That says that dreamers and immigrants are actually driving
our economy; and many of them are taking jobs that whites
literally won't do.

We have 800,000 dreamers, for instance, who are putting
energy and money into our society. If they were to be
deported, the hard knocks will begin fast.

In fact, with 45's immigrations policies, and an ICE agency
that is particularly inhuman and cruel, our society is already
suffering. Even Hurricane Harvey survivors will recover
much slower because of it.

Sigh.
