DODGE CITY, Kansas — At 18, Mike Smith chose trucking over college. Hauling cattle feed was lucrative for a teenager, and it seemed he could have a pretty good life without a degree. Now, 40 years later his income is stalled as immigrants pour into western Kansas and depress wages.
To Smith, Donald Trump seems like the only guy who can stop it.
“He speaks what’s on his mind, to hell with the political correctness,” Smith said. “If Hillary gets in, there will be more illegals.”
