Kamala Harris has told the people of Latin America not to come to the USA because she knows it is hard right now, along with the problems from the corona crisis, we also have had a sinking economy and closing factories. Vice President Harris knows that we just do not have enough jobs for the immigrants. The factories are all closed. So, the immigrants cannot expect a job to be provided for them, and the immigrants need to study hard and they need to create their own jobs, and they need to open their own factories.
Many of the new factories in the USA are being opened by new immigrants. The new immigrants are coming to the USA with their dreams and they are creating jobs here, for themselves and for others.
When the immigrants come to the USA with their dreams, we need to make sure that they can find the financing, etc, to make their dreams a reality.
Also, many immigrants become doctors, etc. My doctor is from the Philippines.
We still have farm jobs, and the United Farm Workers union, and California wine, etc, but it is not like the old days when the immigrants could get jobs as soon as they got here.
As far as the government, Biden is going to create a lot of jobs, I hope we get high speed trains, etc, and I hope the economy can be stimulated.
Now, we are going to be flooded with immigrants from Afghanistan. I recommend Battle Mountain, Nevada, as the land is cheap and plentiful, and I recommend Merced, California, as Merced has some jobs, and Merced will have a station on the California high speed train route.
Do not come to Los Angeles, unless you want to attend school. It is hard to get a job in Los Angeles and the streets are full of homeless people. I was born in Los Angeles and ended up homeless, so even the locals who were born here are out there homeless. You are better off to go to Battle Mountain, Nevada, or to Merced, California. But, Los Angeles has great schools.
It is hard, and it is even harder for the immigrants. The immigrants need to join unions, and we need to make sure that they are able to open new businesses and achieve their dreams. We need to support the dreamers with business loans, etc.
My advice to the immigrants is to study, and learn, and be prepared to open your own company to create your own job.
In the old days they would help a new guy when he moved into the neighborhood, but it is not like that anymore. People can try to help the new immigrants more when they arrive here.
Rent is expensive, and jobs are hard to get, the people from Afghanistan are arriving in America at a very difficult time.
We have Wellness Centers for the people who end up homeless, and we have Catholic charities, etc, but it is very hard right now. Maybe the immigrants can get those shovel ready jobs that Biden is creating, but right now jobs are hard to get, even for the locals.
I am not going to sugar-coat it, times are very hard right now, and if you can succeed then you are very lucky and blessed. If you have a home, and if you have food to eat, then you are very lucky. It is going to be very hard for the new immigrants from Afghanistan. They need to avoid the bad neighborhoods, and they need to check out Battle Mountain, Nevada, and Merced, California.
And I recommend college, and business school. The USA has great schools, the immigrants need to take advantage of our great schools.
Salute,
Tony V.
