It’s a huge lie.

I was in commercial printing. I started as a delivery driver and fill in bindery worker 1n 1985. We had one Mexican who swept the floors and filled in with hand folding, etc. The entire shop floor at that time was white. All the pressmen were journeymen types, many with technical school certs and the like. High school kids worked summers learning to feed and handle paper, and some came to work full time for the company.

Well, this mexican guy got his wife a job too. He said he was legal and had docs, so no problem, right? 10 or 12 years later, she is a bindery lead, in charge of hand work. $15 an hour in 1995. She would be calling in 5-10 girls, (all mexican, of course), to hand fold certain jobs on a moments notice. She had 2 names. The name all her friends and family used, and the one management used.

Over the years, as I moved up into middle management, I would train people to operate machines. The first mexicans that were promoted to a new job were well spoken bilinguals.
I noticed fewer and fewer whites on the floor.

Eventually, maybe 10 or 12 years, is all it took, I had to learn enough spanish to communicate with an operator, because they had no english. When the company went out of business in 2004, the entire floor was hispanic. Many good trade jobs.

I saw first hand how wages were depressed and good jobs taken by illegals. That’s printing. Then there’s construction and various other trades.

They’re not stupid, or inferior, or anything else. They want something better, and are willing to cheat and game the system to get it.

There is no down side to being illegal.

There are fast food places around here where the person at the drive-thru speaks little to no english.

We all have seen hispanic racism. I noticed a Burger King in Oakland, CA went from all black employees to 100% hispanic and 0% black in just a few years. Blacks has been run out of large parts of California yet nobody seems to care. Including blacks who still vote dim.
