“And what becomes of all the illegal aliens who’ve been working in the construction trades for decades and kept wages lower?”

They become licensed contractors.

The existing licensed contractors can get a tent and join their former workers that were replaced by the invaders.

Anyone who has witnessed any part of the destruction of South Florida in a greedy and corrupt attempt to pave the Everglades from Fort Lauderdale to Naples knows that the failure of regulations has led to a demographic and quality-of-life disaster.

And bridges and Condos fall down

Weaken zoning laws so we can build favelas, and barrios, and colonias for our newly arrived neighbors from across the border.

"a deregulation of the building and construction industry, which he argues will boost job opportunities for men without college degrees"

...is a statement which would almost make sense in a world wherein the construction labor market was dominated by men WITH college degrees, and not the illegal aliens who currently occupy those positions BECAUSE of deregulation.

Can you identify as an illegal and cover your roof with plastic sheeting, then cover with aluminum foil? Being illegal, doesn’t that make you exempt from all laws and regulations?

After you remove the regulations, good luck with the inspectors. They like to write and enforce their own regulations.

"More apprentice type programs for kids...no college necessary."

Spot on.! The nation needs plumbers, carpenters, electricians, heavy equipment operators, etc.... All are good paying jobs, worked by honest, God fearing, American patriots..

And besides that, the university is the LAST place I would want to send my kid.. He would probably come back home a commie faggot...

A college professor with a good idea? Sounds good. Do it.

Watch for the fang-tooth feminazis to start screaming over this and to condemn him.

Lower taxes. Tell those in China to move back and get an extra break in taxes.
