Note the hypocrisy on this issue... When it comes to enforcing federal law or the law in general, the supporters of Biden's actions are all too willing to look the other way. They go on to criticize the leaders who are only trying to help them enforce that law and then they applaud when those leaders are told to stand down. Rather than use the resources of Texas to build on that border security that Biden has finally admitted is insecure, he challenges them. Why? This is why Biden will go down as the worst President this nation has ever seen... He is not interested in uniting our United States.

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin both sides sir, need to secure our nation we have no jobs. All our factories are overseas need to com back to make us independent if needed. Just as many Rinos as well. We need action to be able to not only help others in time of need. But also be able to be independently for self efficiency to our people in or nation. We the people should not be struggling to upkeep our food, and our daily needs as if we were in a third world nation. Options to work at a company or businesses that develop anything is low. All we get is come get minimum wage or just above at your local eatery. I work at J.C.Penney part time thank God for my VA Disability. If not id be homeless years ago as a single dad. My bachelor's means nothing but a pretty paper on the wall. Cause I'm over qualified for all jobs now. As before under qualified. Imagine that. What happened to opportunity to be better oil field is down as well. Products made in every place except maybe 5% in the Good ole USA.

Both sides indeed. However, while one is not always following through on enforcing border security, the other doesn't even attempt to make anyone believe they care about enforcing it.

Yes, we do push a lot of manufacturing overseas for cheaper labor and business costs. This is capitalism though. While I understand that it can affect the US in two parts, the first being fewer job opportunities and the other ensuring are self-sustained, we still must invest globally as well. By doing so, we spread the American influence, we help other nations grow stronger as democracies, and we maintain global stability. However, we also must encourage businesses to keep a portion of their business (to include manufacturing and resource gathering) in the US (or US hands). We are losing sight of this when complexities such as climate change moves the goal posts or when elected officials create ways to disincentivize companies from keeping a significant portion of their business in the US. There has to be a balance.

That said, inflation is certainly killing us. Much of this has to do with rising costs as a result of over-regulation, over-the-top environmental standards, rising costs of resources in general, and then some. I empathize with you on your current situation. I'm sure things are difficult and all I can offer is to ignore what people say about overqualified. Push for the job you think you can do (and want to do) and turn that "overqualification" into a positive. I managed to fall on my feet well prior to and through the pandemic, which has enabled me to absorb much of the brunt of the inflation. But I can't help but think, I checked all the marks, I climbed the very difficult mountain to get where I am, and now that I'm in what I thought to be a good place (with no help from the government other than my work for them while serving active duty and Civial Service), I don't feel like I'm there. Inflation has essentially maintained a status quo for me. Anyway, don't give up... Be willing to do what needs to be done for the job you'd prefer to do. Whether it means you might have to move, get training (even if you've done it already), or use connections, do it. Do not depend on the government to give it to you.
