Yeah, our primary candidate understood there. Pardon my nostalgia.

I was in Iowa yesterday, and I talked to a guy that at one time had 100s of people working for him in a concrete company. And he pointed out that guys like him, he went bankrupt incidently, that play by the rules, when they hire people, fill out all the appropriate paper work, do all of the employer contributions, and get all the insurances that are required and do everything accordingly, therefore pay a lot more for their labor. They get put out of business by the companies that hire lots of illegal folks and just pay them a flat fee in cash and don’t pay any of the overhead costs that American employers have to pay employees under the law. So I think there are lots of folks in the economic system that appreciate having lots of cheap labor and that is certainly a factor.

Most of my neighbors are former Californians. They moved away from California because of illegal aliens ruining their state. Some were skilled professionals who were competing for work with paid-under-the-table illegals. Years later illegals have moved east and north to take whatever jobs they can wrangle via employers who Nancy Pelosi would call patriotic.
