That is why most on construction sites do not speak English.
This is a ploy. The goal is to justify hiring illegal aliens.
Its not just limited to construction and illegals. I’ve seen companies modify job descriptions to explicitly disqualify any non-H1B applicants.
Of course the H1Bs didn’t meet the requirements either but that didn’t matter. They worked cheap.
Not for these jobs. For these jobs, the goal is to justify hiring H1B visa holders after getting the number of H1B visas raised. Somewhat less bad for the average American, but not good for anyone but corporations that feel no allegiance to America.

You’re absolutely right; it was done to justify the import of Asians for tech work (leaving many skilled Americans unemployed), and now it is being done with the skilled trades (since they’ve finished removing Americans from the unskilled labor pool). Someone pointed out that this work couldn’t be done from Brazil; it will instead be done by Brazilians imported into the US to keep wages down.
