The Industrial Revolution, in my opinion, was fueled by immigrants, both at the core labor level, as well as the idea level. Then, the idea level used the labor level to create machines to replace labor and largely eliminate the need for that ‘fuel’ at ever increasing levels of industry.

The investment became, increasingly, in machines and ever cheaper machines using, instead of domestic labor, foreign, cheaper, labor to produce them, replacing domestic labor more and more. I caught the tail end of it in agriculture, first working with the masses of labor in the fields then later, in my own business, working on and manufacturing machines which replaced them and, ultimately, foreign machines replaced me.

Where it will end I do not know.

As I compose this post, I gaze across the road at a portable sawmill in action, being fed by a compact track layer machine. All made in China. Turning local trees into lumber. No outside labor involved, just one guy who owns the machines.

Turning that around is, in my opinion, a daunting task, particularly with the amount of Chinese Communists in the Republic fully alive and breathing and opposing ‘invest in America’ at every step. Quite the challenge.

How many years did we jump ahead in 1945 when Wernher von Braun and his team walked west?

At the turn of the 17th century a group of Americam colonists invented government not by entitlement, not by bloodlines, not by the sharpest sword but, simply by the will of the people. It worked! The world took off as minds were liberated, people inspired, advances in every facet of life exploded, imitating by what was happening in America. That continues to this very day. Only sick degenerats would seek to destroy something like that.

Smart Stephen Miller.

1925-1965 – the years of
Regulated immigration.

Not perfect, but light-years better than anything since.

Who else would articulate it as well?

If we want to Return to a stable, high-trust society, we need to limit immigration dramatically.

And deport those who
Entered Without Inspection (EWI) as soon as possible.

Very interesting observations, Dan, our Canadian friend.

A question: How many other Canadians that you talk or correspond with also hold your view ‘hold the line President Trump, we deserve it.’ ?

Another query would be what he sees coming from the east coast ports like Baltimore and New Jersey into Ontario and Quebec and points west. In one niche, heavy haul, I’ve seen a lot of big stuff, and stuff branded by American manufacturers, coming in on ships from China and India and being trucked to Canada.

One large example is mine equipment which comes in on the ships in pieces because it’s so large. All from Asia and India. Canadians are hauling it. Bellemare is one large entity handling a lot of it but there are others.

In the past I saw scores of metro train cars and engines come in from India to Baltimore and New Jersey and be transported to Canada. If one wishes to see real samples, check out Lucky Banana Heavy Haul on Youtube.

With the report about steel transport into the U.S. drying up, I wonder out loud if Canada is now taking the steel which comes off Chinese and Indian ships in the U.S. destined for Canada and it being used domestically instead of transhipped. I see a lot of that too, particularly in products destined for public works projects. How much of the steel that the reporter was hauling was domestic steel and how much was transshipped?

President Trump might just save Canada too. They can’t survive without the US. As the US goes, so goes Canada.
In short, what’s good for America is good for Canada if you want to be saved from a communist takeover.
We wish you Godspeed.

every dollar confiscated by the govt via taxation makes the govt stronger, and the citizen weaker

“Constitutional structure…”

While the edifice it is supposed to uphold disintegrates into ashes and rubble.

Pillock….

and you hear pompous and useless rand paul whining about a few billion for the border wall

most infuriating considering his dead silence on the hundreds of unaccounted billions thrown at ukraine

in the best interests of the country, that snake and his ilk can’t be gone soon enough

One of my favorite shows is “Justified”. I really wonder how wrapped up in Boyd Crowder’s organization those Kentucky politicals are – Paul, Massie, McConnel?

I wonder if any money planned for citizens was re-appropriated to support illegals the last four years?

you sir ain’t no American.

And
What an elegant presentation —too!
Look at the table layout, fabric and symmetry.

Allowing for the typical Commie slant, here’s a NYT article on that topic, with AI looming large in the matrix.

“That is the troubling conclusion of my conversations over the past several months with economists, corporate executives and young job-seekers, many of whom pointed to an emerging crisis for entry-level workers that appears to be fueled, at least in part, by rapid advances in A.I. capabilities.
You can see hints of this in the economic data. Unemployment for recent college graduates has jumped to an unusually high 5.8 percent in recent months, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York recently warned that the employment situation for these workers had “deteriorated noticeably.””

I went looking for hard BLS numbers on the trend but came up empty. Any data to share?

I don’t think they would be feeling so froggy if they didn’t have so much free reign to commit violence with impunity.

My point is– we patriots need to invest in America.
I keep buying products from Mike Lindel when I absolutely do not need any more, pillows, sheets or slippers!
God bless America!
Let’s invest in patriot businesses ! ♥️🇺🇲

If the Govt’ grows faster than our incomes…. like they have been, local state and Federal… we aren’t growing out of anything even with tanible growth at the base level!!
