Who caused that?  Who is in charge of our education system?

I say it the U.S. Legislature though faulty policy.

Who caused this?

I say it the U.S. Legislature.  In 1986 Ronald Reagan gave amnesty with 
the agreement there would be a fence.  Amnesty was the wrong solution 
and not building the fence was a broken promise that has exasperates the 
problem.  It has been said the left wants illegal aliens as voters and 
the right wants cheap labor.

So why has somewhere abound 5 million illegals aliens entered our 
country this year?  Policy.  In D.C.

I agree.  We are back to the U.S. Legislature.

I made friend with a guy at Walmart that was a COBOL programmer until 
they off-shored his job. Sad story.

The only problem I see here is these people are being cheated out of the 
struggle of becoming productive and making a living,

Agreed however this generation is being told they need to complete a BA

I'm hearing the same stories.  Could the root of this be in D.C.?  
Everyone was sent checks and some were given large unemployment 
payments.  Some or maybe many found it unnecessary to work.

Again I point to D.C. They fund it and the universities have found they 
can over charge.  If it is class warfare who is causing this class 
warfare?
