For decades the illegals came in and took work away from Americans. I’m talking about good paying construction jobs. In 1985 I was in management for a large homebuilding company. We had white carpenters, a white plumber, a white electrician, a white trim guy and a black roofer. You’ll be hard pressed to find any white folks building houses in Texas today. After decades there are none with the skills.
Same thing here in Virginia. 15 years ago most of the people on the jobsite would be Americans speaking English, today it’s usually difficult to find the one guy who speaks English. I know most of them must be illegal aliens.
