People get older and change their views. Real world starts to jade optimism

The truth is actually the opposite. If anything, people tend to become more liberal as they age in some ways, they only become more conservative relative to the rest of society (which has generally liberalized as a whole faster than individual cohorts do).

Basically political ideology tends to change little over time. Whatever beliefs you hold when you're 20 are likely to be broadly similar to those you hold when you're 50. The idea that people become more conservative in absolute terms as they age is not well supported by the data.

illegal immigration was a tool to destroy the unions, black man, as well as the lower middle class

Stop right there.
This is incorrect. You are clearly wrong.

Immigration as a whole brings growth to the economy. It improves the size and strength of the labor force. Essentially, Immigration, legal and illegal, are both good for America and her economy.

The middle class, which in general, is educated, does not get hurt by the illegal immigrants typically.

H1b Visas do hurt the middle class when they are issued excessivly/incorrectly. The official purpose is to get individuals with rare skills who are very gifted to come to the USA.

The reality is that we are giving H1bs to many barely unqualified people as a cheap labor force to keep salaries and wages down. If you want to complain about immigration that affects the middle class, its misuse of h1b visas.

please show us this massive worker shortage we have? Are there some massive wage hikes going on?

This push by the democrats for legalizing all the illegals, clearly shows they don't care about Americans, they care more about creating millions of government dependents in order to secure their votes.
