Real Americans say Statue of Liberty now relic of the Past.

As Gov. Scott Walker sets up Wisconsin's budgetary straight jacket for the next 15 years in corporate welfare to Foxconn, Trump is about to set up economic failure for the upcoming 3rd generation of Americans creating businesses and jobs. The Street:
. The White House has set a goal of achieving 3% economic growth through a mix of tax reform, deregulation and other measures. Most economists say immigration would be a key contributor to achieving that mark."
Moody's Analytics economist Mark Zandi in a recent interview with TheStreet said, "If the bill were to become law, it would render next-to-impossible Trump's already lofty goals for economic growth
Or this stark reality check:
"We've achieved 3% growth in the past partly when assisted by rapid population growth, and favorable demographics," University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers told TheStreet recently;;;..................................
From NPR's On Point and Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moodys Analytics:
Big changes pushed yesterday by the Trump administration on American immigration. Profound changes, if they go through. Legal immigration to be slashed by half. Family connections downgraded as a priority. New priorities? Education, English, high-paying job offers. Would your family have made that cut? The Trump White House says this would be great for American workers. Others say no.
...................................
Guest: "The president back in January when he made his first address to Congress, sited a study from the National Academy of Sciences...that found that first generation immigrants cost taxpayer $57.4 billion a year, what he left out was that second generation immigrants are a net positive $30 billion, and by the third generation, it's a $220 billion benefit to the country."

Being a maid/domestic help isn't considered a high paying job offer is it? It's not considered highly skilled is it?
I'm not knocking maids. Been one. It actually does take some skill to do it fast, efficient, and well.
But the fact remains being a maid isn't considered a highly skilled occupation.

Trump men certainly lack imagination in their fetishes.
