WHISTLEBLOWER - TELLS IMPACT OF ILLEGALS ON WAGES:

A whistleblower in the southern California construction industry says illegal alien workers have “taken over every trade” in the business while driving down wages by an estimated 40 percent.

In an interview with the group Progressives for Immigration Reform, a whistleblower who was an independent contractor throughout the 1980s and 1990s explains how the California construction industry transformed into one in which American men could make a middle-class living off blue-collar work to a business where wages have plummeted and illegal aliens dominate the field.

Blaine Taylor, the whistleblower, said the construction industry in California once offered a starting wage of about $45 an hour in the late 1980s. Fast-forward to 2018 — nearly two decades into when illegal aliens began flooding the industry — he now says that wages have fallen by more than half, standing at just $11 an hour.

This what they want - bring down the middle class, keep the sheeple poor and on the plantation. Financial Warfare at it’s sneakiest through illegal invasion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I remember reading all those lefty news articles insisting that the idea illegals cost money was a viscous, racist lie. I would read with incredulity stats which “proved” how much revenue they brought to the state! I knew it had to be false but hey, one story after another all “proving” that concerns about illegals impacting our economy and job market were the bigoted fantasies of KKK wanna-bes.

Now there’s a steady stream of articles, finally revealing the truth and I’m glad it’s getting out there - but I am going to have to work at trying to forgive (but never trust) the left/MSM for gaslighting us for decades. That old, “Who are you gonna believe, me or your lyin’ eyes?” is flat busted.

It’s also epidemic here in north/central GA.

Get this: there’s a fairly big-time roofing outfit advertising on a major metro radio station touting the fact that you, as a customer, is offered the advantage and courtesy of being able to interface with a supervisor or crew leader that speaks Ingles.

Yep. The first time I heard this I turned and stared at the car radio dial blinking with incredulity. What did I just hear? (I sezzed to myself).

The third time I heard this ad I was with the staunchly common sense oriented Mrs. Guy.

I cannot write here what she commenced to say.

And yet the cost of building in California has skyrocketed. Wonder who gets the profit.

I'll toss a log on the fire here and take wild guess why he's not a great builder.

$45 an hour, cut to half, does not equal $11. I'm not a math guy though...

My son and I were discussing trafficking the other day.

He reminded me that it is so much more than exploited women and children.

There’s also organ harvesting, cartel soldiers infiltrating in order to gain territory and take over, and the people who are put to work in sweat shops in addition to the run of the mill invaders who are just here to do the jobs we won’t or some such BS.

It’s destroying America and her people by slow killing her citizens(lack of jobs, aid, etc)and giving invaders any thing they need.

Also so much crime ruining our neighborhoods and endangering us all.

Normies don’t see all that.

They just see all the poor dreamers the MSM reports on every night.
