Trump has been saying lately that we need to bring in thousands of people from foreign lands to train our people how to make things.

This is wrong. There may be some rightness around the edges, but the idea in general is wrong.

The reason for this is very simple. Who developed the things that need to be built? Who trained the foreign lands how to build them. In a great many cases, the answer is “We Did.”

Who many Americans have trained the foreign labor how to do the things we do and who then replaced us in the last 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 years? And of those Americans that trained them, how many of them are still alive today? Right now? How many are retired? How many are still working in another position or field?

America created most of the jobs we need to bring back. The jobs our politicians helped to send away, leaving us in the production debt we are now in. We made them. We can make them again. Our young people may not know how to do it, but our experience people can train them. The people still alive now who trained other how to do it outside our country can train our people her inside our country how to do it again.

We don’t need millions of unskilled labor imported into America to do the jobs. We need people willing to hire Americans to do those jobs. And we need Americans willing to work those jobs. Of which there are for more than many would have us think. Including Trump.

Trump is wrong on this. And he must realize it. And he must realize how dangerous it is for all of us to act like it isn’t.
