Ok. Well, the real number is 13.4%. You said 98+%. I understand if you don’t have a valid explanation for your 85% difference.

You mean you ignore my explanation for reasons of mollifying sensibilities.

Many grads can't get jobs in their field of degree.

By comparing this information, researchers found that during those periods, 43 percent of U.S. college and university graduates’ first jobs did not require a bachelor’s degree. The researchers considered a job that does not use a person’s education “underemployment.”

Oh, of course they cannot get jobs. But why?

Lets look at law school. IF a person goes to one of the
best schools, and then ranks high in their class, well,
a job is a shoe-in. Go to a second third forth grade
school, get by somewhere in the lower half, well,
you may get a job at a car wash,though maybe not
as they will not like you attitude.

At this time, it looks as if college is a bubble, and
a lot of people are sorry / going to be sorry they went.

Those non-degree jobs can pay very well.

I think that many of these people feel it is better to be somewhere where they have a chance, or think they have a chance, than it is to be somewhere where they know they don't have a chance. That is the level of desperation they have arrived at. As a fellow human being, I feel for their desperation.

Where they came from the law held them no hope. Here, because we are America, they have hope. That is what America stands for. And if California is the last refuge of America then long live California.

Aren't you worried that busing all of these people to blue states won't spell the final death of xenophobic conservatism in the Republican party?

The more I think about Trump's tweets the more I like the outcomes...a long series of blue waves on a two year cycle.

Xenophobic conservatism.

Sounds like weaponizing pseudo-clinical terms
for political purposes.

Or as some might put it- Most labeling or name calling for that matter is done by a person who wants to distance themselves from an idea they fear might have validity in their own psychology.

A dislike of or suspicion of, say, Islam may not be
in all ways admirable, as much as it may have a
valid basis. it is not a psychiatric condition. -phobia.

Are "blues" jurisophobes? They do not seem to
like the rule of law, as in LEGAL immigration.

I already gave it and it sticks. Democrats are socialist and I'm going to keep on calling it as it is.
The party that raises most of its money from wall street, oil companies, and big pharma?

What exactly do you think socialism is?

As a white male whose father voted for Trump, I most definitely do fear my own unconscious tendencies to give into a fear of others different than myself in a society where that same culture is fighting against non-whites and non-males to have equal consideration.

In my understanding of the teachings of Jesus one theme is very loud and clear, if you forget your heart then rules become legalisms you can hide behind and use as weapons of hate.

If you fail to have empathy, rules become swords.

Can I give you a winner, and a friendly both?

Yes, so what happened before it was made illegal

And why accept european migrants but bar south american migrants.

Based upon the merit of those who know English, are highly educated, and whose job skills are in high demand; based upon these merits, migrants from Europe overall might be more desirable than those from Central American.

The US has no official language so the arbitrary choice of english is a personal one. Migrants from europe are likely to speak one of several languages, not necessarily english.

I also know that some spanish speakers are very highly qualified and some europeans not so much

Here is some of that old fashioned compassionate idealism you are all so proud of America for:

 

Twilight Hue

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
The party that raises most of its money from wall street, oil companies, and big pharma?

What exactly do you think socialism is?
The party that robs Peter to pay Paul using big government and over-regulation.

If Democrats didn't fulfill what they said or promised then there wouldn't have been so much for our current president to have want to have to tear down that our last president built up.

Looking at the long view our country and the world our country has always led are moving in the direction of compassion for all combined with the freedom to achieve. Socialist Democrat is a label for something you have more in common with than you might want to admit. But is a topic for another thread.

Most labeling or name calling for that matter is done by a person who wants to distance themselves from an idea they fear might have validity in their own psychology.
Look at all the Socialist Democrat policies today.

Read The Communist Manifesto.

Pretty surreal.

Socialist isn't a name , it's a very fitting description and it's going to stick as long as it's warranted.

Perhaps you should read it? It's a very short and easy read, I promise. But you'll learn why lumping in Liberals with Socialist Democrats with Communists is just way out there. Marx did write socialism as a transitional phase from Capitalism to Communism, but Liberals tend to be against work mandates, not for them.

That's a load of tripe. Mandates are the poster child for socialist Democrats.


Let's start with a nice little quote.....

"The goal of socialism is communism". Vladimir Lenin

The Socialist Democrats are off to a pretty fair start. ..

Starts with removing individual freedoms and individual choice under threat of prosecution. The Democrat socialists are doing really well with the establishment of the well-known and publicized nanny state and setting the foundation of which state succeeded quite well in several key States.

California second only to New York for lowest freedom – Orange County Register

The most restricted States in terms of economic and individual Freedoms are New York and California last I looked. Both obviously Social Democrat States. Eventually people are going to walk down the street wondering if they broke any laws as this practice keeps up.

Let's end with a nice little quote.....

"I am a socialist".

Bernie Sanders


Socialist Democrat stays because the shoe fits.

Funny, I have far more freedoms and choices here than I ever did in Indiana. I'm making more money than I ever have, my doctors don't have to lie to cover my treatment, and the DMV here insisted I can smile on my driver's license and they let me wear my glasses. And even paid sick time off from work so there is the freedom to be sick which is a major plus.

I also think it's interesting because I meet a ton of people who moved here, by choice. And they are coming here from all over America.
