Dont let facts get in the way of a good witch hunt circle jerk brother.
We cant ruin the fantasy that every federal employee is a fat black disabled 2 spirit living in DC with a 6 figure salary and a thumb up their arse.
Nevermind the fact that low GS grade natural resource positions are some of the only jobs left in rural America, and judging by that chart, not for long either.

What an absolutely insane statement. Illegals doing physical labor is not pricing the middle class out of work. The ones with experience are pulling in $15-25/hour, at least in the South. That's less than $50k per year. If anything, the work for less wage is better for the middle class.
If you can't honestly see how a US based computer programmer losing their $100k+ a year job to an Indian worker on an H-1B for $55k per year is harmful to the American middle class, then not sure what to tell you.

Probably cut what's left by half and no one would notice.

I's not up to the government to create jobs just because someone needs it.

DC is a cesspool though for Fedgov jobs. Everybody's salary is inflated and the huge concentrations of gs13+ is a problem.
I'd rather them deal with DC Feds than the regular everyday Feds that work in places other than DC.

You want public resources (think national parks, wildlife refuges, etc) managed by private entities?
Sure the State could takeover management...but for most natural resource like stuff the State gets their monies from the Feds

probably could cut another 50% and not notice

how did Trump create a new problem? H1B limits remain the same and the numbers are way smaller than illegal immigration. Nice attempt to pass the blame.
He's done nothing to fix the problem while running a campaign on fixing the problem.
So yeah, he gets some blame too.

I didn't say that and I don't know why you went there.
Yes I think I'm glad we have Yellowstone and that it is well staffed.
But I don't think we should add a single job at Yellowstone just because someone needed it.

100 percent.

Yep.
Federal employment at national parks is like 2-5% at best of total federal employment
There is lots of bloat elsewhere.
