So, your entire argument is that Caucasians can’t and won’t swing a sledge hammer all day in the Texas sun for any amount of money, therefore developers like you are forced to use illegal labor to get the job done. Uh-huh.

First of all, site work is only the first level of invasion by illegal workers. Their infiltration into the skilled building trades goes far beyond that, and you know it. I defy you to walk through a project phase by phase, and show me any phase where American workers predominate. You can’t. Foreign born workers now predominate in every sector of the trades, from pounding stakes to setting doors and windows.

You would have us believe that American men never built a thing in Texas, which is a provable falsehood. I’ve been in the trades long enough in the southwestern U.S. to know better. I’ve witnessed the changes in the building trades with my own eyes. Up until the early 80s, nearly every phase of construction on projects in this country was performed exclusively by American men.

American men built the southwest. They built the infrastructure, from the water and electrical systems, to the houses, commercial buildings and skyscrapers. They built the dams, the bridges, and the deep water ports. They built the airports, schools, and government buildings, and every U.S. military base. And not just in Texas, but across the whole country.

Do you really have the gall to sit there and try to convince me that American men are suddenly incapable of doing what they’ve done for over two centuries? It’s a damnable lie, and unbecoming of a Freeper.

No. American men have been PUSHED out of the construction trades for all the reasons I’ve previously stated. The good jobs they once held have been given over to a colonizing force of cheap illegal laborers who don’t give two shits about this country or you.

You can dance around this issue all you want with justification after justification, but understand that professional tradesmen like myself see right through it. The almighty buck is the ONLY reason you and other developers have given a whole industry away to Mexico.

Ok Windflier, you have had several rants while propounding the same points over and over except you have ratcheted things up and diluted your arguments by now name calling (liar).

So, Sir, lets say you are right, IF YOU HAD THE POWER, what would you do to wipe away this problem and make everything right for you and people who see things like you?

I assume # 1 would be to get rid of all us nasty ole greedy developers. Take it from there.
