It bothers me anytime a illegal OR A LEGAL immigrant displaces American citizen in any job.
However I am also a realist. I understand better than most that it is NOT THE JOB of a businessman to investigate illegality background of workers working for his SUB_CONTRACTOR. A businessman has no easy tools to determine legal status. He has no authority to deport anyone.
The failure occurs because we have no wall, we have poor enforcement of laws, and there is no national ID card stipulating legal status like they have in many countries.

That’s part of it. The other part of that equation is the practice of business owners opting for cheap, illegal labor.
While the CEO would not be expected to micromanage every aspect of hiring and labor usage, he or she however establishes the framework under which the project will be complete.
Sorry, but if Trump truly feels as stated about the presence of illegals in this country, he would’ve approached those subcontracted firms and told them in no uncertain terms that he will not tolerate violations of immigration law on building projects, especially those bearing his name. He’s Trump.. the great negotiator, right? Once this issue got into the open he should’ve dealt with it accordingly. Failing that, he owns some responsibility.
