"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."

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...

He said more than half. $11 is a lot more than half, so accurate, but not precise?
