Yes, I knew you'd give that example.

A good example of some of those jobs that Americans don't want to do? I'd rather have an American do the job of building my roads and buildings, not an illegal.

My office building is currently being rennovated and most of the workers appear to be recently arrived Mexicans. In the past, this work would have been done by unionized contractors. I often wonder why the unions don't make a bigger stink about this. The "too few workers" hypothesis would explain it, but methinks there is something more sinister going on. Specifically, I wonder if the unions have been told to pipe down about this by the Democratic masters.

"I'd rather have union labor repair my highways" = "I'd rather pay higher taxes".
