It is jobs that Americans won’t do for the price that an illegal alien will do it for.
Good point
“It is jobs that Americans won’t do for the price that an illegal alien will do it for.”
In the 1980s drywall was mostly done by blacks in SoCal. I’m pretty sure it was union work, it paid well, and they could make a decent living doing it.
But then contractors found that they could hire illegals for a lot less, since illegals are willing to live 20 to a house (does wonders for SoCal neighborhoods) while they send their money back to Mexico.
After having completely displaced SoCal’s black drywallers it didn’t take long for someone to organize the illegals and demand higher wages.
You saw this happen across industry after industry, to the point where Americans won’t get hired because they don’t speak Spanish in their own country.
