Because it’s cheaper to hire an illegal immigrant and train them on the job then it is to hire an American and train them the right way to do things.
They’ve been hiring immigrants especially with construction jobs for over 20 years. And notice how the quality sucks since then? Most of the houses built today are sloppy. The walls are crooked. The plumbing is done half-assed. They buy cheap dry wall from China that falls apart and ruins the electrical.
This is one big reason the government does not want to seal the borders. The GOP doesnt want to hurt those businesses that employ those illegal immigrants. And the Democrats want those votes.
Here’s a suggestion for these anonymous companies so desperate for employees. Call up one of the thousands of companies in the country that have recently laid off skilled workers. They are easy to find, they are in the paper every day. Call up their HR department and ask for some names. I’m sure they’d be happy to give them to you.
