Because the existing workforce keeps getting deported.

        An Uneducated Labor Force also ensure those laborers can’t compete for better positions, or demand better conditions.

        • However, they also result in the country slowly trending towards irrelevancy

          In today’s economies, everything is about high skill labour. It really is just cutting off your nose to spite your face.

            Capitalism has no long-term goal. It’s been literally making the planet inhabitable for humans since its birth.

        Also they don’t get taught critical thinking skills to understand why things are the way they are and easier to manipulate. That said my understanding of the general US education system is that it doesn’t teach that (or much of it) anyways.

          Easier to manipulate, yes.

          The US education system isn’t monolithic. There are lots of good public education systems in the US. It wouldn’t be the tech and economic powerhouse it is today (was yesterday?) if it didn’t have generally good public education. Part of the reason some people think “the system” is bad is because their particular state/county/district/school is bad.

      That is irrelevant because they are also removing schooling for the children that will be taking those jobs.

      Imagine the kids get smart and start thinking on their own as adults. They would no longer vote Rep. Imagine that!

      They already thought of that. The department of education has already been dismantled. If there are no school nights there’s no problem, right?

      So that only the children of rich parents can get a good education.

    • These kids already have jobs, they dont even need school. The ones with rich parents will still learn how to fuck everyone else over in their private schools, dont worry.
