Maybe try paying more to get American workers? Nah, supply and demand should never work the other way, just in favor of the Chamber of Commerce members.

I just imagine that these “poor businessmen” can go to DC, place ads, and get all the “workers” they want between now and 1/20/17. Maybe they can get some “displaced US Attorney’s” as well.

White kids of privilege wont work now a days

illegal immigration is the new slavery.

[elpadre]

There are more than enough able bodied workers on the welfare roles to do the work - if they were willing. The question is: how to motivate them to do the work?

[SpaceBar]

Sounds like the same pro-slavery arguments prior to the civil war.

[WMarshal]

Sure small businesses want more illegal aliens. We should believe the CoC because it is a truthful, patriotic organization. In a better world the CoC would be tried for treason, convicted and hung.

How about american teenagers put down their video games and work after school. How about schools let Seniors get school credit for working half day or 1 day a week or pay higher wages so americans will do the work.

I blame food stamps

He says he would hire 60 roofers right away if he could find them.

Maybe if he was willing to pay more than illegal-alien wages, more potential roofers would appear.

[Secret Agent Man]

I am just not buying this.

Perhaps if we had kept up the tradition of making teenagers have jobs during high school and college, ....

[Organic Panic]

Uhhh. No. He just doesn’t want to pay enough to get unemployed Americans to work. Also. It is vey comfortable to be unemployed in the US.

Since he likes hiring Mexicans so much, maybe he should open a roofing company in Mexico.

[Jim from C-Town]

BINGO! You cheap bastards are cheating the system. Pay a living wage and Americans will do the work.

[Doogle]

....yeah 25% of the Mexican population is not enough...SHIP THEM OUT!!

[PapaBear3625]

The illegal Mexicans work at low-wage jobs BECAUSE they are illegal. If they were legal, they would be on welfare.

You want entry-level workers? Cut WAY back on welfare benefits, to the point where working becomes attractive again.

[Tennessee Conservative]

I find this hard to believe. The real problem is that Mexicans work cheap. When there are too few Americans applying for these jobs it’s time to put the welfare class to work.

[Flavious_Maximus]

Businesses that hire cheap illegal alien labor get rich while the American taxpayer has to pay the extra cost in school taxes, healthcare and insurance providing for those illegals.

It is a lose lose for American citizens.

[Iron Munro]

Anyone with a shortage of Mexicans can have a bunch of those who have moved into the area around my neighborhood over the last several years.

Sometimes in the stores it seems as if we are the only people in there speaking English.

We joke that we don’t have to go to Mexico on vacation because Mexico has come to us.

This is part of the reason why some of the new homes built in North Texas these days are over-priced junk. Cheaply made, thrown up overnight, not worth the amount paid.
