Yesterday I passed through Upstate South Carolina. Spartanburg is a very friendly, smaller city. It is not at all unusual to strike up a conversation with an absolute stranger in this generally congenial environment.
While refueling the car, I was approached by a 50ish black gentleman who commented that the United States was becoming Mexico. He said Mexican workers were everywhere and that he was an independent contractor struggling to survive. He said he likes Mexican people and they are hard workers, but they were making it impossible to earn a living. Said he worked hard all his life, and was in his work truck with various tools in the back.
He related that he bid on a house painting job for $1200. The lady said that was too much, and he dropped the price to $1000 and purchased the paint for an early start the next morning. The lady called back and said that some Mexicans had given her a better price of $800 and she was going with them. Were the Mexicans contractors here illegally? Who is checking?
When will the American political system allow Americans a choice on this issue?
Most Americans want fair labor practices and border security...
Average Americans want America to remain the “United States of America. Elitist Americans want America to merge with Canada & South America to form the “United Americas.”
Well, maybe the elitists want United Americas. Canada will be last due to geography. That seems to be what is happening.
Those “hard-working” Mexicans are probably all on welfare too.
The Mexican can do it for $800 because he is accustomed to abject poverty...
AND because he has NO COMPULSIONS WHATSOEVER about gaming the US system for additional subsidies.
After all, the d*mn gringo’s have had it too good for too long!
Yes, and my gas pump acquaintance mentioned this and said they are living better than he is.
Yes, and unless the contractor takes advantage of all the govt. subsidies it is an uneven playing field. This gentlemen seemed not to want to game the system.
These days a lot of the “poor” are better off than the shrinking middle class.
Much the same as European nations gave their people NO SAY in mass immigration, we are getting the same. Gramsci’s ghost lives on. The population that will not surrender to Stalinism must be fundamentally transformed.
The question missing in the story is: Did the Black American guy consistently vote against DemoRats, or did the Negro Plantation dweller vote consistently for DemoRats and especially for the Negro Messiah, B. Hussein Obama the Kenyan Muslim slave holder?
Only one of those individuals is responsible for American decline, does he know who he is?
Currently working on a case where the Mexicans are here illegally “borrowing” other people’s social security numbers and even their driver’s license numbers. Found out they are being paid under the table and on welfare and concealing earnings to get it ( this is very very common btw but I probably didn’t have to tell you that; I’m just confirming it from having to deal with it for 20+ years working as an investigator).
This is why we shouldn’t have illegals here : (1) harm to people’s credit and reputation by stealing their identities while committing felonies like forgery and credit card abuse, and hindering secured creditors from seizing the Propert they “stole” using outright fraud, (2) failing to pay taxes while making other people pay for the government’s operations, and (3) forcing the American people to pay higher taxes to pay for the welfare programs they abuse. It’s not rocket science. There’s a reason the sovereignty of a naion and controlled borders are necessary to maintain control and order of a nation.
The GOP just is not clearly making a strong case for the American worker. Do you think they have been doing that? Did I miss their championing the American worker? I have seen the GOP ex politician lobbyists champion China and Russia, but I have not seen one who would champion the black gentleman facing unfair foreign competition from illegal workers.
Illegals and hundreds of thousands of “refugees” too.
BTW, Mexicans make up a huge portion of the prison population too, doing the crimes Americans won’t do I guess.

“Borrowing” someone’s ss# or dl# is a very serious offense for an American citizen. However, I have heard than in some cases, if not all cases it would be excused as an offense by these new, loving citizens. What a way to start off on the path to good citizenship!
I recently sat in on a panel with a lot of key officials to discuss the border situation and presented facts about the acceleration of government spending from 2010 - present which showed a clear arc from 2013 - 2014 on spending on transportation and housing services in preparation for the illegals migration into the U.S. one thing that became very apparent with these numbers was that this was clearly a calculated and pre-planned invasion that was orchestrated by factions within our own government.
I totally believe it

The victims surely don’t think so. Many have had their credit destroyed and it is hell to repair once the damage is done.
> The Mexican can do it for $800 because he is accustomed to abject poverty...
And because it’s tax free and like an American earning a $1000
plus he doesn’t have to pay car insurance and lives with 10 other relatives and only pays $100 rent a month. It gives him $700 to drink on...
If the issue is illegal immigration, then it really wouldn’t matter whether he voted Democrat or Republican. I think that’s the OP’s point about the “one party” thing.
