To gain better-trained workers, Kashani has an idea in mind: He’s building a trade school to create them.

Good for him. We need many more trade schools.
I certainly support trade schools.
But, on the other hand, if you pay a better wage, skilled tradesmen from other states will move to Houston.
I agree. When I was younger there were many more trade schools.
I don’t understand what the problem is. There are thousands of highly skilled, qualified trades people pouring across the Southern Border, even as we speak.
Freepers hate this reality
If Latinos leave
Amongst other industries construction at least here in Nashville would stop essentially
Across the board except management
They are 90% of the industry here aside from electricians and plumbers
Even iron workers are now heavy with Latinos
It’s simply staggering and Nashville is crazy building now
Skyscrapers condos and housing ..I think 100 houses and condos come online daily and still a shortfall
3,000,000 illegal aliens have made it into the US since Jan 20, 2021.
And every job site and restaurant I frequent has a help waned sign.
So where are the workers?
I lived in Houston from 1975 to 1995. In the early 80's the freeways were crowded with cars with Michigan state license plates. Often, I would see a bumper sticker that said "will the last person to leave Michigan turn out the lights."
“a help waned sign”
Funny typo. The help did wane, thus the problem.
Pay more. Workers will come.
Bull. Wages would go up. A good thing.
Up north if it’s non-union construction, it’s braceros on the job.
The big projects like downtown buildings are unionized and mostly white guys with some affirmative action blacks and chicks.
At Walmart spending their stimulus checks.
“to develop the W Hotel, a 300-odd-room luxury hotel”
300 odd rooms. How many normal rooms will there be?
Illegals working for cash while collecting welfare. The elites new plan.
That’s because the construction industry has been using illegals for decades now and displacing Americans so much that many don’t enter that field anymore.
They work for less pay and benefits than Americans expect to get paid.
I heard the Michigan Governor in 2016 say the state is begging for construction workers. Biggest problem. Lack of people who can do the trade school math and pass a drug test.
Print trillions of dollars to pay people more to not work than they make by working. What could go wrong?
They work less than union wage but not much less than Americans who’ve grown fat as hell lazy
Middle Tennessee lower middle class whites who once worked as carpenters and masons etc now either do something else
Ot they get disability and sell their pills scripts and other freebies
Blacks just do nothing ....sell dope and grift dole....I know a few black landscape crews and one stonemason group that’s blacks
Mexicans are further up the food chain here
If your bean people and speak English then you’re the straw boss and well paid
The grunts are Salvadorans and Hondurans and Guats
And they won’t hit a lock for less than 18-20/hour
My oldest son is supe for a small cement floor finishing outfit...1.1m in sales last year ....technically he’s number two in the outfit
He’s paid 20/hour and a share of each job he completes from the owner
They use crack labor .....paid 16/ hour
I imagine cheapest bean labor is fast foods
In the beginning they did as u say
But as this matured ....whites just mostly quit or shifted
Blacks had already quit
I build too but now sub out all but maybe concrete and warehouses and car washes only
My family has been in this in one manner or another since 1880 in Mississippi and here in Tennessee
Blacks did the lower end in my youth and worked very well btw
I notice up north not as many Mexicans so whites still work construction
And around here under trump many fed funded jobs required proof and paid more too
Govt money projects have labor pay requirements written in to equalize with union wages
It’s quite high.....but it’s about union demands more than illegals
Beanies go home and man .....it’s a cataclysm here
