DON'T BLAME THE MEXICANS FOR JOB LOSS! LET'S MAKE SENSE OF IT ALL.

      I'm trying to be fair here!
      I think it's wrong for the White American labor force to blame the job shortage on Mexican Immigrants, legal or illegal.
      Here's why; When the economy was healthy and everyone had work who wanted work, there was still an unbroken chain of "productive" dollar jobs available from raw material production right on through to the finished goods production. Finished products were being made mainly in the U.S. or other modern countries closely tied to America, such as Canada and the British Commonwealth.
      Then a phenomena started taking place where there was an increase in exported raw materials to other countries including China. An agreement was reached by all the important countries of the world for the emergence of Free trade.It was called the "World Trade Organization". (WTO) The jobs producing finished products in America disappeared to China because they now had the raw materials to make those same finished products cheaper, even after shipping. Greed quickly overcame common sense. No long range thought was given to the American worker.
     The Mexican Communities were long ago established and supplied workers to the farming industry on a regular basis. Those were jobs that were menial and back rendering to taller people and mostly paid minimum wage. If you ever tried picking potatoes, strawberries and planting of such, you'll know what I mean. It's not preferred work, but it's work. Until recently, No one complained about it.
     Only after the economy turned sour, did somebody complain. Complain if you will, but they're not to blame. It didn't turn bad because of the Mexican workers. It went "South" you might say, because of other various reasons, but the main reason was because all of the "productive" dollar jobs other than the ones producing raw materials went to China. Raw materials left the country and only returned after they were converted to finished products. Thus eliminating all of the creative, productive jobs in between.
     Yes, the goods were produced less expensively and created a larger profit for the bigger, worldly Corporations, giving us consumers relief from higher prices in the short haul, but giving consumers less money to buy them in the long term due to a lack of jobs that were converted to the Chinese.
     The consequences all came back to the consumers after being shot in the foot by the greedy, International Corporations.
     Our Republican Candidates all have it right, along with Donald Trump. We need to quit exporting raw materials to other countries and get back to producing the finished products in this country, and then sell them to the highest bidders after we've had our fill.
     To the Mexican worker's credit, they're for the most part, the very few "productive dollar" workers left in the country.
     Let's create an Export fee on raw materials, an Import fee on finished products that we could be producing here, or both. Whichever is better!!!
     Quit blaming it on the Mexicans in regard to the bad economy!!    Just sayin'.
