My brother ran an honest construction contracting company which went under because he refused to hire illegals. Several good local boys, both black and white, lost their jobs when he was no longer able to compete with the crooks.

Fortunately for us they got bought up by a larger builder who had to pay to fix all the problems we had due to shoddy workmanship.
I saw my house being built. A lot of the workers were of questionable nationality. I don't question their ability to work hard, but I am certain they didn't know (or didn't dare question) when asked to make shortcuts or use inferior materials.
There was one white guy I met. He was a lazy bastard who complained about his job even though all he was being asked to do was sweep.
So you got hard workers who are too afraid to complain, and lazy Americans incapable of doing a days work.
We're screwed either way.
Doing the jobs Americans actually want to do.
We used to live in a sanctuary city (I don’t recommend it) in SoCal. If one needed cheap labor, just drive down to the Home Depot parking lot in the morning. Los illegales would be hanging out, en masse waiting to be picked up for a day labor gig. Tax free, under the table.
I empathize with anyone trying to run a legit construction business, paying taxes, workers comp, etc and all of the government regulation hassles.
