>>>We the people of the United States should start showing these guys at the home depot hiring locations that we can do this work too, and negotiate a better wage.
Actually, I seriously think the 'no American to do the job' is a load of poop.
My nieces, nephew, neighbor's children, try getting jobs and they can't find any to hire them. Then I go down to the board walk and stuff and I see non English speaking people running the boths, diners, stands...and the American teens I know personally seriously try to get jobs.
Don't forget, it is cheaper to hire an illegal than it is a tax paying citizen.
Yup. I've mopped floors, cleaned toilets, painted, cleaned windows, stacked shelves among other things on my way to where I am, and all for minimum (I didn't demand that, it was State law). And I'm the whitest most middle class guy you are likely to meet.
I'm convinced that the 'no American' mantra translates to 'I have to pay Fica on an American as opposed to an illegal, and I have to comply with onerous things like worker safety laws if I hire an American, and I can't be troubled with such things.'
why pay taxes when you don't have to.
these are now tax free jobs (if this passes)
could end up more lucrative.
