Sick of Mexicans Taking our Jobs
Nelliemae

Posted on 02/21/2007 5:53:58 PM PST by NellieMae

I am getting really sick of the Mexican Invasion costing so many jobs in the Southwest Virginia- East Tennessee area. My husband is a brickmason. He is the 5th generation mason in his family- our son is the 6th. Up until just a couple of years ago brickmasons had contractors ringing their phones off of the wall wanting them to do work for them. My husband had to turn down dozens of callers because he couldn't do it all. Things have sure changed . Now, a lot of contractors in this area have gotten dollar signs in their eyes and all that they can see are cheap Mexican workers. My husband has actually had a contractor (real builders that know how to actually build a house are really scarce around here anymore) pull Mexicans on the job that he was working on because he was in such a hurry to get it finished that he couldn't wait the 2 weeks that it would have taken to do the whole job. They will pull in a huge crew and wipe the job out real quick. They waste a lot of brick though (they get paid by the 1000 brick). My husband is a very good, fast mason. His speed and quality is not the issue here. Most of these workers cannot even speak English. It is really aggravating to have lived in a place your entire life and have your livlihood seriously threatened by people that are not supposed to be here in the first place. How do we get rid of this problem? Also, on another related note: It was announced today that there are hundreds of jobs being cut in ANOTHER local factory, Bristol Compressors. I was told several months ago that a construction site in Mexico was marked with a sign that read:" Future site of Bristol Compressors" Is this a coincidence or is there another company by the name of Bristol Compressors?

"The Declaration, however, does not define the government. That's left to the Constitution."

No, but it declares the causes of why we broke bonds with the prior government, the reasons for our new government, what it's based on, what kind of government we are rightfully entitled to, who created it, who empowered, and consented to it, the conditions for its abolishment, AND exactly who has the sovereign right and power to abolish it and start over if need be.

The people are indeed the sovereign.

Keep your powder dry.

You really gonna like living in the third world? Cause that's where this "open borders" movement is taking us.

That really is all that needs to be said.

You obviously know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

Your compassion for a fellow American is underwhelming. But since she's not la Raza you don't care.

Took the words right out of my fingers.

Let her husband be a general contractor and find work to support a couple of crews.

Hire anyone with a tax ID number.

I guess there are plenty who see themselves as the "Patron" or the "Jefe" and therefor don't care what happens to the peons.....

We the people are definitely the sovereigns.

Sovereigns perhaps, but the greatest number have sold their sovereignty for American Idol and fixed rate mortgages.

The slide toward slavery is well under way and arresting the forward momentum is going to take an act of G_d. There are precious few who understand what has been lost and fewer still who care enough to do anything about it.

Seems to me if people gave a damn about this country, we wouldn't have fallen so far so quickly.

Lately I have been less than hopeful about the future.

Well, lucky for us, those who haven't sold their sovereignty to American Idol are the ones with all the guns.

True enough, for now.

All it'll take to rectify that little socialist oversight is a president signing off on a wee bit of legislation.

All of the front runners on both sides seem ready, willing and able to do that very thing.

Guess they don't understand that it's not a big jump from 'patron' to 'peon'.

I agree. I started in the trades at age 19 as a laborer, then helper, then journeyman,, then mechanic, then carpenter, site super and finally Project Manager. I saw how the trades were once a way for an ambitious blue collar guy to make a decent living. I saw the pride of old school craftsmanship fall by the wayside. It is a shame.
