1- the poor that don't want their government benefits touched but support firing federal employees (who get taxpayers money to actually do work) are the demonstration of how low income people can be selfish jerks too, and I suspect they are the type of low income voters who shifted to Trump

2-as someone who works in tech and went through all kinds of visas, it's absolutely true that there's a big shortage of skilled americans in certain areas (being from Italy where there's the opposite issue, underemployment of engineers, I suspect it has to do in part with the cost of college). Also the real problem of immigration (which explains the massive amount of illegal immigrants) are THE LAWS, which are absurdly restrictive, arbitrary and unfair. Every American I talked to thinks coming and staying legally in the US is 100 times easier than it really is, I don't blame them for the ignorance since immigration laws are the ONLY type of laws that Americans don't have to deal with. That's the issue with Democrats, instead of focusing on changing the laws, their immigration policies are either "Trump is racist" or chasing the right on securing the border, which is bad for everyone, legal immigrants, illegal immigrants and US citizens.
