Aren’t those who get green cards supposed to be here to do jobs where US workers aren’t available to fill those positions? If the employers are so desperate for foreign labor, shouldn’t they have to pay them a living wage? It makes no sense that we should subsidize employers who have no intention of paying a living wage to employees.
Exactly. If those employers were forced to offer health care benefits as part of the job, they wouldn’t need so many “workers” then, would they? This is like the HB-1 workers Visa scam-companies don’t want to pay decent wages to Americans, so they import foreigners.

grania, that boat left a long long time ago. I moved to Texas 15 years ago and every single construction job and infrastructure job are Hispanics.
In 15 years here in my rural development has gone from 90% white to 4 out 25 houses white and I own 2, so yep 2 other families are left.
I own the property down on the corner and went down to work on it today and noticed about 20 kids get off the school bus and not one white.
Folks we here in Texas very soon will be a minority.
Oh make no mistake these aren’t gang bangers and street rats. These folks are all very law abiding and work and a lot of them.
Most are raising families and working and some have many family members living there either in 1 house or family across the street. That doesn’t bother me though because I grew up in an ethnic NE city where family was always right around the block.
