sure it have been more but now they are replaced by machines.
you can not keep a production going just for keeping jobs.
time is changing and jobs are changing too.
but at the end of the day it all depends on the market size. if you want to throw immigrants out they will be missed as consumers and they will be missed as workers because NOBODY wants to make this kind of jobs.
and you have to keep another thing in mind - people who make less money canīt save money. and saved money is the biggest poison for an economy.
there would be no problem at all that a few people make billions if they would spend it. but first of all it is not possible to spend that much money and second of all this money does not even enter the country.
this is exactly what trump have in his mind when he speaks about tax decrease. he wants that money (aproximately 5 trillion dollars in company wins what never entered the USA)
come to USA to be spend there.
this is the one and only reason - because everybody knows about this trillions and it is not illegal money - these are just offshore profits from companies like google, apple, general electrics and far more who did not IMPORT this wins to USA because as long this money stays offshore it is not taxable.
and this would be the only (shortterm) effect he can catch with this tax present to the multis because once this money is in the country and tax is paid on it the future of ALL profits will be on lower tax.
this effect will be gone within in 2 or 3 years and the system must collaps.
but again - the immigrants in USA are NOT the problem. they are even helping to keep the national economy kind of alive.
the problem of USA is that they are not really good in anything as producing weapons - and this is why we have all this wars in the world because if they would be gone the US economy would break down.
all other big US industries are big because they are action in a global market they would not be able to survive without this global market.
not accepting globalisation means, that ALL this companies will suffer and if they have to close their international daughters because trump is trying to fight a economic war (what he canīt win) this companies will not only close their fabrication outsite - they have to close big parts of in INSIDE the US too.
america is the inventor of globalizm but did never learn how to play this game.
look what people all around the world KNOWING about USA.
mac Donalds - but they canīt export - they have to move into a foreign country to user the power of their marketing.
google, apple, starbucks and a big movie and music industry - tell me HOW they can survive without the global market?
look on the other site Germany. wages are not cheap, taxes are not low, prices are not cheaper - but made in germany is still working and the country can even sell expensive products all over the world - even new korean cars for a price of 1,999 euro could not change that.
this is what have been missed in US because americans are marketers. they know all about giving a piece of shit such a great name, that the whole world want to adapt it.
but WHAT KIND of american production is well known in the world? NOTHING - except weapons.
and there is not really a big difference with UK. what happens in USA will happen in UK too - and NOT because of the immigrants. if you take them out it will collapse just faster.
