There's some fallacies in his/her comments. For one, he/she calls him a stock market investor and by definition it has risk. However, to be a successful investor in the stock market, you minimize risk and take the highest probability of success. This stock market "investor" also says: "Going to college doesn't guarantee you will get a desired job nor will you obtain a useful skill."
The vast majority of people would say a college degree is a good investment. It is a risk but comparatively, it's small and has a high probability of it turning out to be good. If it a stock, it would be a good investment. But this "stock market investor" wants a "guarantee" before investing. There are no stocks in the stock market with any guarantees or almost anything in life. As Benjamin Franklin would say, the only thing certain in life are death and taxes.
I would go further and ask this "investor" for their definition of "socialism" and what he/she thinks about the bail out for the banks and the bail out for the farmers. I would wonder how this person thinks about price gouging during a disaster or if this person thinks FEMA or any other disaster agency / funding for disasters with tax payer dollars should exist. It's probably a waste of time though because this person already made up their mind.
In my opinion, if this person isn't experiencing & living the dreamer life, his/her view on immigration would be vastly different. It's funny because we're forced to have an experience the majority of Americans will never experience, they can only empathize. Yet, a lot of people here would be at each other's throats if the dreamers get legalized.
That's why I say if Trump gave citizenship to DACA people tomorrow, the majority would probably vote for him in 2020.
