Because of globalization, high paying blue collar jobs are in short supply.

If Trump is able to enact his promised tariffs it will bring millions of higher paying jobs back.

If he deports a significant portion of the illegal aliens it will drive up wages at the chicken factories and construction sites. If he slows illegal immigration those higher wages will stay higher.

But sending those that graduated in the bottom 95% of their high school class to trade school has no payoff without the wall and the deportations and the tariffs. Because those good paying jobs won't be there.


I am glad to be here.
