The only upside is that hopefully many illegal aliens will GTFO now that their big money construction jobs are shot. Or they should go back to picking vegetables and other agriculture pursuits ... I like my meat fruit and vegetables American grown and great if illegals do that.
The trouble comes when illegal aliens leave agriculture and start trashing wage levels in other sectors
The illegals have been depressing wages in construction for years. Especially in small scale commercial work. They have really been noticable here over the past 3 years, moving up from the south where they have saturated the general labor market, to find new work.
I saw a crew of 5 mexies doing stone work on a new fast food place. I guarantee it will look like chit. But I bet they did it for a fraction of what a local contractor would have had to charge to cover taxes, insurance, work comp and general liability. unemployment compensation tax. ssi matching medicaid matching, equipment replacement expense, truck expense, material supplier etc.
We are going to have to run them out to re-claim the work Americans don’t do according to our friends on Bush Hill.
