Construction is a good example. Jobs that paid 15.00 to 20.00 per hour 15 years ago are now paying 6.00 to 8.00 per hour And home constructions costs to the buyer are higher than ever, the savings aren't passed on. Homes have never been less affordable, they aren't cheaper in areas of the country that use illegals, in fact they're probably more affordable when it's American labor building them.
