Do you really think every lawn mowing job has been “stolen” from an American?
Absolutely.
Do you think every hotel maid job has been stolen from Americans?
Absolutely.
Do you really think every janitorial job has been stolen from an American? Or vegetable picking?
Absolutely
Do you want any of these jobs?
No
Do you know anyone who does?
Yes
Do you see the unemployed hipsters flashing their EBT cards buying lobster at Whole Foods while surfing the web at Starbucks doing these jobs?
No
How about the looters in Ferguson?
No
Or the musician on welfare who does some music gigs cash on the side?
No
My only point is this: your example is just way way way too simple to really describe what is a complex problem.
I gave no example. I made a statement that Trump believes illegals that have jobs in the US should be able to stay.
And yes, it’s a damned problem.
Agreed
As someone who has been around construction, lawn care, and hotel management his whole life, I can tell you Americans did in fact do these jobs. Did lawns not get cut before 1980? Did drywall not get hung? Did hotels not get cleaned? Thinking only illegals can and will do these jobs is the problem.
Oh, what you say is true for 1980. Idiot. That’s got nothing to do with today.
