If there had been as many foreign-born workers in America when I was young, they would have gotten the jobs that I got or the wages that I got would have been much lower. I did yard work, delivered newspapers, washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, and delivered mail. Those jobs enabled me to buy three new cars, pay for my college expenses, and graduate debt-free from NIU when I was 21 in 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.)

NEW YORK MAGAZINE
— Trump Plans to Make Civil Service a MAGA Spoils System – Ed Kilgore (COMMENT: The top priority for my Democrat superiors in the federal government was hiring, retaining, and promoting Democrats, and especially those who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors had not been in America for a long time. Consequently, their top priority was wasting the careers of and getting rid of their employees who were Republican, and especially those like me who were White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I should write a book about that.)
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/12/trump-plans-to-make-civil-service-a-maga-spoils-system.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There have been many credible reports that a second Trump administration would feature an assault on the federal civil service system in order to reduce “deep state” resistance to his authoritarian ambitions — or to use his terms for it, to “drain the swamp” — while stuffing the higher levels of the federal bureaucracy with political appointees. Those of us who are history-minded have immediately thought of this as threatening a return to the “spoils system” of the 19th century, which was more or less ended by enactment of the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act of 1883 (signed into law by Republican president and reformed spoilsman Chester Alan Arthur). But the more we know about Team Trump’s plans, this understanding of what they want to do in staffing the federal government is looking inadequate and anachronistic. The spoils system beneficiaries of the distant past were by and large party foot-soldiers rewarded for attending dreary local meetings, talking up the party’s candidates in newspapers and forums, and most of all getting out the vote on Election Day. No one much cared what they believed in their heart of hearts about issues of the day, or how they came to their convictions. It was enough that they put on the party yoke and helped pull the bandwagon to victory.)
