Wait a minute, I thought they were all here to pick vegetables. Since when are construction and landscaping and poultry processing “jobs Americans won’t do”???? Sure, Americans won’t do them for $5 an hour with no benefits, but all of these jobs used to be filled by Americans making decent wages.
I saw an interview the other day with some guy from the AFL-CIO. He was talking about an illegal housekeeper working in a hotel in New York City that was making $22 and has benefits.
I looked at my hubby and said there are plenty of Americans who would love to have that job.
That ‘jobs Americans won’t/aren’t doing’ is pure BS.
The reason they aren’t doing them is they can’t get them for the dam illegals.
good post. since when do americans not want to work in construction? and I get tired of hearing mexicans saying ‘we helped build america.” - helping build a bunch of mcmansions and strip malls the last 10 years IS NOT BUILDING AMERICA!! there was plenty of stuff built prior to the 90s.
