Democrats and their slavery. Always the same.
I’m sure people said the same thing about slaves too.
Why work when you can live off entitlements?
The production builders in northern NJ have been using beaners for 10 years.
Haven’t illegal aliens unionized yet? Big strike on the way.
I knew the houses I saw in my youth were imaginary.
Without undocumented workers they positively could not have been built.
How much construction would not be needed if we enforced our immigration laws?
Any takers?
It’s a shame. Builders dont want to pay normal wages/hire workers on the books anymore. All the taxes, and administrative BS that goes along with hiring workers is a huge drain on a business. Much easier to pay illegals who are much less expensive.
There is levied upon the income of every state a federal income tax
equal to 5 percent of the wealth of every person within the taxing nexus of the state that is in excess of $50 million
when that person’s wealth is not taxed by a state at a rate of at least 5 percent and the proceeds are not forwarded to the US Treasury.
All it takes is a few million more Democratic voters and Elizabeth Warren will get her wealth tax.
These parasites and wage depressers would put their mamasitas on welfare until they figured out how to game the system too.
demographics mean we’ll be looking at labor shortages in labor-intensive industries, essentially for the rest of our lives,

So the answer is pay them $7.00 per hour, off the books of course and you’ll have all the laborers you need?
A few years back, 2015 I think, a hail storm beat the crap out of my roof, insurance co. said to get a couple of estimates, so I go to the yellow pages and start calling. The first thing I asked over the phone is, “do you have any laborers who can’t speak English?” No one did. So my roof got replaced by a crew of jabbering Mexicans.
I asked one of them, in Spanish, how much he made, he seemed surprised that I spoke Spanish but he did answer my question and that’s where I got my $7.00 per hour figure.
Really? Maui was caused by direct energy weapons? The Moon landing deniers are back. So many here have lost commonsense, logic, deductive reasoning, actual science, etc. I've read some are actually into this stupid and senseless pro-noun idiocy.
In all the years I worked in construction, union and non union I never saw a black kid doing anything related to construction.
No plumbing, masonry , carpentry, electrical, running heavy equipment.
Nothing.
I certify, under penalty of federal law, that this material is for:
1. the repair of an existing structure that will not alter its floor plan, or
2. the construction of a new house of a size of less than 1600 square feet, or
3. use in an area zoned only for industrial, commercial or agricultural use.
If houses were limited in size, the available labor would be able to build more houses.
As someone who spent fifty years in commercial and institutional construction you would not believe the efforts I have spent and have seen expended in keeping illegal aliens off our job sites. Thousand of hours.
Ran a fifteen building jobsite over four city blocks on a military base over twenty years ago that was raided by 125 DOJ, INS, MPs and Fort police. Out of 365 workmen for me and my subcontractors they detained three guys. All three proved okay and were released. The raid was caused by one drywall sub on a competitors site who had a grudge against my drywaller.
Residential and apartment builders were a whole different cup of tea.
Are you in the right thread? Because the article was about undocumented labor, and your post was about everything but that.
OMG, so they bring them in here to take jobs away from the legal citizens in this country. go ahead and vote Democrat again. they could care less about you the LEGAL AMERCIAN citizen.
