Why is there no middle class in California cities? It's because of abuses like this enabled by the Obama Administration. Why hire a $50 an hour American electrician when you can get one from Croatia for $5 an hour. If he falls off the roof no workman's comp, no disability insurance just ship him off back home. Anyone who drives a Tesla supports slave labor.

But, but. . . . Tesla is a left-wing dream company! This can’t be possible!

Why is the middle class disappearing?

It’s called “Marxism”.

Karl Marx HATED the middle class.
He DESPISED them.

You can’t use Marx’s ideas to help the middle class.

The people of California have been told this - but they’re going to vote for Bernie Sanders anyway.

There’s a reason politicians are looking down on you.

This is not a Democrat problem or a Republican problem, but a Uniparty problem. Let's face it, Donald Trump is the ONLY presidential candidate from either party who clearly and without reservation puts America and American workers first. Clinton, Bush, Kasich, Rubio and to some extent Cruz all favor massive immigration and oppose real and enforceable borders.

This battle is about more than mere Cheap Labor because the same thing is happening in Europe. The Christian West is under siege from a borderless future with only princes and serfs. This is the "New World Order" that G.H.W. Bush announced, the Holy Grail and modern day Tower of Babel. It is the dream of centuries for which internationalists will fight tooth and nail to bring about. Now, thanks to Donald Trump, we see who they are. Their futures are threatened, and Trump has smoked them out.

The excuse is the same one used by general contractors everywhere — “I don’t control the subcontractors.”

If they had any ethics, they would check up on the sub contractors after awarding the contract. Why after ? Because calling in labor department officials and IRS after work has begun, letting them fine and punish the subs, and then using the contract to force the subs to complete the work using legal workers would force the sub to take the LOSS.

If you just reject the bid from the start because it seems unusually low, you are just passing the buck and the sub will find another customer.

If every American worker who became aware of illegals or labor law violations anonymously snitched on the employers, we could end illegal immigration.
