Quit trying to justify these foreigners taking jobs away from American citizens.
You want to know why no one could get natural born Americans to roof those houses? It’s because the illegals infesting the workforce had already driven down the pay in the area so badly that no American could afford to work for those slave wages.
That’s how it really works out here. The same thing has happened in multiple industries that traditionally paid well for high quality, professional labor - done by AMERICANS!
The Cheap Labor Express is breaking the back of our country, so quit spinning for them!
Take a young unemployed excon who can’t read or write, but is in good health. How much is he worth?
Take my unemployed young healthy ex-room-mate. Never committed a crime. Read the Bible every day, Great personality, stayed out late with girlfriends every night, couldn’t get up to go work work.
These are just two of many examples of people who rejected construction that started at 15/hr for the illegals. Some of those illegals quickly got raises. In 2 years they were making 25/hr. Then they started their own companies.
As my ex-room-mate told me: I dont do spic work.
You are grossly mis-informed if you dont realize the upward mobility of immigrants. Yes, food service workers do start low. But they dont see it as starting low. It is twice what they were making in the old country. And look how many of them now own their own restaurant.
Dont get me wrong. Problems exist.
