Already people from UTEC are protesting where Trump is going to speak and asking why their 700 jobs are being moved to Mexico.
They
know why their jobs are being moved to Mexico. Because progressives push jobs overseas with idiotic communist economic policy. That's why the American people overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump, snowflake...

Republicans more responsible with their free trade insanity.
Free Trade isn't insanity. It depends on how it's managed. For instance, when NAFTA was signed, it included "
NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance" which would offer education and retraining for people who lost their unskilled jobs.
NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance, Employment & Training Administration (ETA) - U.S. Department of Labor
The problem here is that Republicans wouldn't fund it. Just anther "fuck you" to the American people and something the media, once again, refused to report on. They do that a lot. The reason they don't report the terrible things Republicans do is that Republicans cry they are being picked on and it works.
Right. I think we've all noticed the media's unspoken hands-off policy for Republicans. I'm guessing that grinds your gears since you are obviously a Democrat. You were given away by your proposed solution to NAFTA problems should they arise. It's one of the only two solutions Democrats ever have for any problem: more education (the other, of course, is more taxpayer money spent).
Dems are cute with that child-like faith they all have in the Magic Education Nymph (MEN). MEN can fix anything. Their nanny state creating a large, growing, dysfunctional, dangerous underclass? No problem! Free college for everyone until we're all successful, college-educated, urbanites. Still not buying the "diversity is our strength" line? You just need to be educated until you agree with us. And if you voted the wrong way this last election, you are obviously uneducated.
It's not fair to put American workers in head-to-head free trade competition with Mexicans and Chinese for the simple reason it doesn't cost as much to be a Mexican or a Chinese as it does to be an American. Therefore, Mexicans and Chinese can sell their labor for less than what an American can. The Dems' MEN just makes the American's labor even more expensive.
After NAFTA passed, MEN was everywhere telling Americans who'd just been thrown into financial turmoil that they should "learn computers". Computers were the future and while the Mexicans stood on the assembly lines screwing shit together, everyone on this side of the border would be rich--happily designing the websites through which we'd sell the Mexican shit to each other.
So all these Americans trusted the smart people who run things and did the right thing and got their computer degrees. There they were working, raising a family, paying on a mortgage, and saving for college when one day, at the age of 52, he gets a visit from his boss. Guess what, drone? We just received a new shipment of labor from India. It's only 22 years old, and is much more affordable than you. We get to hold its green card in case it starts thinking it should be paid for overtime, and part of the benefits we offer it is the chance to live in the United States, which doesn't cost us a thing! Btw, you'll need to train your replacement if you want your month's severance pay, then I'd go get educated in something so you can get another job at your age before you lose your house and your children's futures are crippled.
Free trade IS insanity, and greed and treachery, and education isn't remotely a salve.
