Men's participation in the workforce has been declining since the 1960s. This lack of participation has increased in recent years. Part of getting workers into the workforce is to reduce the number of employers demanding college degrees for jobs that don't require them. Unnecessary degrees not only place a financial burden on new workers but delays their start in establishing financial security. An easier path to trades, possibly with basic skills learned in high school, is another idea. We have too many obstacles to success presently, and we need to remove them. Ways to reduce the cost of college need to be looked at as well. And I mean reduce the cost, not subsidize the cost.
Immigrants are a necessary part of the workforce, but what is the justification for letting those who have committed illegal acts get a pass? Finding a legal way to include more immigrant labor, changing quotas and requirements, is more palatable to voters. "They're already here and trained" is a bit weak since it sidesteps the need for society to function within a framework of (law and) order.
