More and more, the jobs that are being created today require brains over brawn.

What's wrong with that picture? There are still the same manual labor tasks which need to be done. A shovel full of earth doesn't move because someone clicks a mouse, but because someone wields a shovel.

Send the illegal aliens home, and the 'brawn' jobs will suddenly reappear.

Working those will be incentive enough to reevaluate career decisions and education as the ticket out of manual labor jobs, and we'll be back where much of the black community was in the '60s before the "Great Society" and all the scammable and moochable programs destroyed the black family in droves.

Oh, I’m all for ending the programs. But I doubt you can make these people work. It’s not in them. You’d almost have to have forced labor camps with armed guards to get them to work.

Uh, no, it moves because someone passed a drug test, managed to get a modicum of training, showed up at work on time, and ran the backhoe/Bobcat/front loader.

All those preliminary steps are fully beyond the moral and intellectual capacity of many prime candidates for that type of work.

Yes, the jobs will, but it will be at least a generation before we have people who will perform them except at the point of a gun.
