I think you will find that Cruz would be 100% fluent in Spanish and be hiring 50,000 foreigners in a sweat shop or the like. Same with Rubio.
So-called "Trust Fund" Donnie put up buildings with many American workers.
Good luck finding an American worker willing to live in Miami under the Iron fist of Jeb & Rubio.
Trump is a hypocrite on this issue. Period. See it or blind yourself to it. Still true.
They won’t listen. :-(
When Senator can’t support his own mother, he may hire his own mother to do work for him and will pay nothing.
both rubio and cruz proposed laws to increase foreign workers into the country. Its rich to be attacking Trump for using laws both rubio and cruz support
They are drunk on the Trump Hopey/Changey Kool-Aid.
As a Texan Cruzer, it may be over. Let’s sit back, pop the popcorn and watch the show.
I say sit back and let the trumpateers have it
the show is gonna be fun. sit back, wait and watch.
this is gonna be fun
That’s all I can do until May.
There will be a different landscape long before then.
What a bunch of speculative Bullshit based on nothing more than your personal feelings of Cruz (and Rubio). I say: PROVE IT!
Those foreigners were doing jobs Americans were not willing to do!
Unless of course they were paid a market wage, but that is why we need foreign workers.
So you want to give trump a pass on actual acts by positing fantasies about Cruz et al.
That’s some impressive and rational analysis there bud.
Pssst. That’s the kind of argument you see all the time on DU.
A few articles have pointed out that Trump’s contractor paid his workers “under $5” but, if you look at minimum wage at the time, $2.90 in Jan ‘79 and $3.10 in Jan ‘80, the wages seem to be fair. And back then, it wasn’t unusual on a rush job to work 10hrs a day x 7 days a week. In fact, if you watch the show about the Alaska crab fleet, some occupations still do to this day - and don’t pay over time. The biggest part of the story is the union wanted over a million in ‘union dues’ for the polish brigade, and used the FBI to try to get it. (I think that was reduced to a 300K settlement and I doubt the Poles got a cut).
Some people think, oh, the contractor brought in day laborers instead of using American workers. There were American workers on the project, too. Only a small segment of the construction sector are skilled in demolition of buildings and removal of heavy debris (and I guess the Poles were good at what they did because nobody was reported as being hurt). People from other areas, still recovering from the ‘76 recession - and with a new recession looming - probably wouldn’t have left a good job in the Carolinas or Nevada for a 120 day job in NYC.
Trump made a mistake by not riding closer herd on his contractor. He made reparations. The court case was sealed. I don’t think there have been any similar labor issues with Trump. So I, personally, am not going to try a businessman a second time for the entertainment of some lawyer turned absent politician who was just discovering popsicles at the time this all happened - 40 years ago.
As to the original question about who Rubio would employ, we only have to look at his brother in law.
In other words, you being a Trump supporter have no problem with Trump hiring illegal workers.
Give em a break. Trump won’t pay em $5 a post on DU.
You have WAYYYYY too much time on your hands.
In 1980 I was making $16K a year humping sheetrock in BFE. If workers on a high rise in NYC were being paid less than $10 an hour that is criminal
Cruz? None.
Cruz is co-sponsoring legislation to cut off H-1B visas.
