Letter: Harris’s values on economy

Published: 09-08-2024 4:40 PM

Americans recently celebrated Labor Day. It is a day dedicated to giving the American worker respect for having provided the blood, sweat and tears that built America. If you understand that, if you respect self discipline and sacrifice of those American workers, why would you have given work permits to 3 million illegal aliens?

Why would you, by doing so, have driven down wages for blue collar American workers? That’s what Kamala Harris has done. We know the US economy must add 200,000 new jobs each and every month to employ those illegal aliens or they become unemployed; recipients of the taxpayer’s dime. The federal government may administer the program but the taxpayers, you and me; we pay them to come here. Harris failed to mention a very painful fact in her Labor Day remarks. The current administration, her administration, has created a new reality. She has given life to two very different Americas. The elites and blue collar workers: The blue collar workers are getting squeezed to the point of desperation. She is working toward a nation without a middle class... And it is an ugly place, a place you won’t want to live. There are a lot of angry, desperate people; and their numbers are growing.

Harris has created a problem: Analysts expect to hear America added 165,000 jobs in August. If that’s true, if that trend keeps up, it’s serious trouble for working people but for the nation.
