Never mind that the factory jobs that left the US did so because of high labor rates and the only way to get them back and keep them is to pay people competitive wages... for China.
Manufacturing jobs are returning to the US because labor is getting too expensive in China, as Chinese workers want a middle class lifestyle. But the new factories in the US require fewer workers and those workers must possess a college degree, eliminating the vast majority of Trump voters who are eagerly waiting for the 1980's manufacturing jobs to return.
There have been many waves, is the point you seem to be missing.
Many waves between ~30,000 to ~20,000 years ago. Then none between ~20,000 years ago and the 15th century, where the various peoples evolved separately from the rest of humanity until the Europeans came with their pox-infected blankets, which may or may not have been made out of hemp fibers.
Ah, so you're overtly racist?
Just because I'm comfortable about race doesn't make me a racist, overt or otherwise. I live and work in a multicultural world. Except for the leasing office staff, I'm the only white person in my apartment complex. Down the street is a Korean church and a Jewish synagogue. On the bus, a half-dozen languages beside English is spoken. My boss is a black woman. My coworkers are American citizens who were born in England, Lebanon, Jamaica and Planet Texas.
You believe we should make distinctions between the good races and the bad, I assume?
I don't assume that being a white, hetrosexual male makes me better than anyone else. As the white executioner says to the black guy being hung on the gallows, "Everyone is equal in my eyes.";)
Even so, the idea that creating arbitrary distinctions somehow doesn't divide us is folly.
Turning a blind eye to what makes us each unique human beings doesn't unify us either.
That's not correct. Paleo-Americans came across the Bering Strait land bridge ~30,000 years ago in immigration wave that lasted ~10,000 years until the land bridge disappeared. Those people evolved here long before the Europeans showed up with their pot-infested blankets. Native Americans lack of immunity against "Old World" diseases is proof that they evolved separately from the rest of the world.
I realize that the odds are extremely low, but that statement is ridiculous. They can't possibly have the data to make that calculation. In order to determine the odds of an American being killed by a foreign born refugee(1975 -2016), they would need a list of every single refugee that has entered the country since... say... 1900 (any refugee that could have been living in 1975). Does that data even exist? Then, they would need to be able to match that list of names with 40 years of crime records to find every single murder committed by every single refugee.
You obviously haven't read the article. Here's a direct link to the study.
This policy analysis examines foreign-born and immigrant terrorists and so excludes American-born terrorists except for purposes of comparison. For attacks planned or carried out by native-born Americans in concert with foreigners, the Americans are excluded and the immigrants are credited entirely for the terrorist plots and murders. That choice increases the estimates of the harm caused by foreign-born terrorists. For plots that included many foreign-born terrorists and victims, each terrorist is credited with an equal number of victims. For instance, the 1993 World Trade Center attack was committed by six foreign-born terrorists; six people were murdered, so each terrorist is responsible for one murder. Airplane hijackings that started in the United States and ended in different countries — such as the September 10, 1976, hijacking of TWA Flight 355 by Croatian nationalists that eventually terminated in Paris, France — are also included. However, this analysis excludes terrorist attacks in which the identities of the perpetrators were unknown, as well as attacks that occurred or were intended to occur (but were not successfully carried out) abroad.
How much do those odds mean to the victims and their families of the WTC, San Bernadino, the Boston Marathon attacks, and others?
Shit happens. You're more likely to die from obesity (30,000 people per year), lightning strikes (10,000 people per year) or from being attacked by a shark (five people per year).
I was born here too. But I'm a German/English/Swedish/Irish/French-Canadian-American. But I would never pass myself off as a Native American, as my ancestors came from Europe and migrated westward prior to the American Civil War. I'm actually a minority in the Great State of California, which is fine with me because I grew up in the melting pot called Silicon Valley.
America has a 4% unemployment rate, currently.
Evidently, Americans need education more than jobs.
You haven't been paying attention. Trump says there are 96 million Americans out of work. Repeal child labor and retirement laws to get America working again. Being too young and too old is no longer an excuse not to work.
Probably most of them are hired *because* they came from those countries.
Most of the Iranians I know in Silicon Valley were refugees from the 1978 Iranian Revolution. They speak fluent English and do the jobs that any American can do.
U can be sure american youngsters would gladly take the STEM education if the long term ROI for them would be worth it and they wouldn't be under treat to be replaced with foreign slaves. It is just a matter of smart investment.
That's unlikely. Most American youngsters and their parents are interested in the majors that are money makers today. They're not going to look at long-term studies to see if a job will still exist after four years of schooling or 30+ years from now. Too many young Americans stop learning after leaving school, fail to change when the job market changes, and find themselves stuck in life — just like their parents.
Somehow i feel most of the Trump voters would rather get a job in a car factory.
From the various articles of I've read, the ideal Trump voter is someone who wants a 1980's manufacturing job that doesn't require a high school diploma. Those jobs are not coming back.
Here is spacious NYC 550 square feet is a decent sized one bedroom.
My Silicon Valley studio apartment is only 475 square feet. Could be worse. A relative bought a $1M+ five-bedroom house in Gilroy that had a wet bar larger than my kitchen and a kitchen larger than my apartment. Very obscene. Although the mountain lion watching the BBQ from the other side of a 20-foot-tall wired fence was very cool.

It will be interesting to see if Trump calls today's job report "fake news" as he often called it when Obama is in office.

I'd like to see you walk up to those victim's family members and tell them that.
Why would I? Just because I work in IT doesn't mean I'm an asshole outside of work.
You're a sociopathic monster.

Don't create distinctions that only divide us.
Pretending that there are no distinctions between people will only divide us. Not every person wants to be a white male American.

They should be citizens by now, so the ban shouldn't affect them.
The original ban applied to green card holders traveling outside of the United States.

It would be unwise of the current occupants to make the same mistakes they did.
That's an irrational fear spread by white nationalists in the White House.
fuck logic, right?
Not at all. We just need to put everything perspective. Closing the borders and blaming foreigners isn't going to make America great again.

Native Americans fought for the land and lost.
FTFY - Native Americans lived in the Americas long before the British, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian empires started dividing up the place.
Never mind that the chance an American will be killed by a foreign-born refugee is 1 in 3.64 billion.

America is for Native Americans
If you're not a Native American, KINDLY GET OUT
doesn't matter if you're smart, honest, well behaved, a perfect employee or even run your own company, GET OUT, THANK YOU. ENJOY YOUR OWN HOMELAND

GET IT?!?
Nope. Probably because I work IT. Users are expected to bend over and demand more.

Americans need to finish their schools to qualify for these jobs too.
New factory jobs require a college degree. Something that most Trump voters don't possess.

You also have to add a few third-party applications to fix the rest of the stuff that Microsoft broke, such as the Start menu.
That's true for Windows 8. I don't have any third-party application installed to use Windows 10 as a desktop OS.
Microsoft is following the Apple model.
