Folks as we know we have a situation at the United States border. it’s been going on for sometime where we see millions of people who are trying to get into the United States to make their life better.
Many of these refugees and immigrants will end up working at places like McDonald’s, Burger King and Walmart. I submit though in the American past things would’ve been differently and these refugees and immigrants would’ve been able to get better jobs. When I go to Walmart I often see people who only speak Spanish , many are also from the Indian subcontinent. And they are working at places like Walmart and McDonald’s whereas in the past they would have a job at Ford motor company.
My dad worked at Ford motor company in the 70s he worked alongside a bunch of Arabs and people from all over the world.
Back in the day we had immigrants coming from Germany from Poland yes even some coming from Lebanon from all over the place immigrating to the United States in the early 20th century many of them ended up working the factory jobs and that the steel plans and they were set for life. We don’t have that situation now in America. We don’t have the jobs we used and we don’t have the integrity we used to have.

my fellow Democrats here’s the difference between 2023 compared to say the 1920s or the 1950s. The difference is back in those days United States had honor and integrity we had better jobs. Now we don’t have good jobs. Back in the day like at Bethlehem Steel sometime in the 1910s or 1920s my grandfather was trained by a black man. That was in the 1920s. That’s why United States is the best all of integrity and honor. We need politicians in this country who celebrate American history who actually want to help immigrants and refugees like those in the American Past did.
We need another Henry Ford in this country. The rich elites are not like they used to be they don’t provide the types of jobs that people could get right out of high school they could set them for life. If we don’t go back to that we’re gonna be in deep trouble and this country will keep getting worse and worse. Bottom line we had a strong middle class …but now the countries going to get worse as the middle class has less power.
If we do things the right way we can handle the immigrants just like we did in the 1920s but we have to have better leader ship in this country.
