I'm not demonizing anyone. I just happen to think ILLEGALS and the people who employ them are suppose to OBEY OUR LAWS. Who the hell do you think built buildings and tarred roofs in 100 degree heat BEFORE we allowed ILLEGALS TO BREAK OUR LAWS?!

Americans, and immigrants, but most Americans don't want those jobs now.

.

Also remember it was immigrants who filled up the steel mills in the 20th century.

I guess Carnegie was an evil business owner to you.

They came here LEGALLY which obviously passes right over your head.

How do you know "most Americans don't want those jobs now"?! Have you talked to "most Americans" looking for a job? I keep hearing this repeated over and over again but I haven't actually met anyone who has talked to these sorry no good LEGAL Americans who don't want these jobs.

Probably the same type of people that built the transcontinental rail road. Immigrants.

Okay, I'll weigh in now.

I have had it with people equating legal immigrants with illegal immigrants. Not the same, understand? Talk about demonizing, Dane, that is what you and the MSM who make the same "error" are doing to me.

Americans and legal immigrants would do whatever jobs are available if they were not shut out of labor markets by illegal immigrants and those who run criminal job sites, just to make a few extra dollars. It is the illegal contractor who is shutting out people who want to work legally.

Illegals are killed constantly on contruction sites without the most elementary safety equipment, and many of them don't even make a legal minimum wage. I've seen it with my own eyes.

It's costing my company plenty. We will use only contractors who will certify that all of their personnel who come to our buildings are legal. As a consequence, we are very limited in which contractors are willing to bid on our jobs, and those few who are, charge accordingly.
