Deport them all. The silly notion that we are dependent upon a bunch of uneducated illegals is laughable.

mich • 7 years ago

Correct! The only people these illegals help are the rich bastards who want cheap labor, while destroying jobs for Americans. Bill gates, Zuckerberg, jeff bezos, etc... made their money off the backs of hard wiling Americans, but now they don't want to pay American wages so they can keep an extra 10 billion each! And don't give me that bs that Americans don't want those jobs, they don't want those jobs at Mexican or Indian wages! Why don't senators work for 80 to 150 per day? Or these billionaires? Well that's what they did to the contracting field, the it field, the resaurant workers, etc. And you wonder why there is mass unemployment? 20% is the real #. Because of ILLEGALS and rich bastards and politicians! Jail the business owner who highers illegals or who attempts to bring foreign workers from India before highering Americans!

Johnnyoneleg • 7 years ago

DEPORT Their azz ! They shouldn't be here anyway !

Tspo • 7 years ago

I've seen a bunch of Mexican roofers and drywall hangers...don't tell me Americans didn't want those jobs.

DonReynolds • 7 years ago

Practically ALL of the building trades and construction jobs have gone to illegal aliens. These used to be good paying jobs. Now, even when Americans want to do that work for the same wages as illegal aliens, they do not get hired because they do not speak Spanish.....and it would upset the rest of the crew.

Tspo • 7 years ago

Notice that the costs for hiring these contractors has NOT gone down.

DonReynolds • 7 years ago

Where I live, until a few years ago there was a Whirlpool plant that made refrigerators, employing 20,000 people. These were the best paying jobs in town, paying about 15 bucks an hour.
The plant was closed and moved to Mexico, throwing 900 people out of work, and hiring Mex to do the same work for 50 bucks a week.
The price of refrigerators did not change, nor will they.
Prices are not driven by costs.
Prices are determined by demand.
In this particular move, Whirlpool simply put more money in their pocket and certain people got a fat bonus. The rest of us got nothing.

Tspo • 7 years ago

You're correct. BTW, do you live in Evansville, IN area?

DonReynolds • 7 years ago

Fort Smith, Arkansas

Tspo • 7 years ago

IC. They did the same in Evansville, yet the prices never came down. Isn't that interesting? This is one reason why I refuse to cashier myself at the store with the self checkout lanes. It's taking away jobs and prices will NEVER come down. I talk with managers of these places about those things and they think they're just awesome until I ask them if managing people is their biggest responsibility. They usually say yes. My next question is what happens to your job when there are no cashiers left? Nine out of 10 times I get a stunned look of "I hadn't thought about that".

BigGuy1949 • 7 years ago

No sir, they apparently don't. At least not in my mid Atlantic area. I come into contact with a large number of construction and services Contractors, who almost all have been complaining for several years of being unable to find reliable American laborers or semi-skilled workers. The wages required to persuade Americans away from welfare in all of its forms is just too high to keep the services competitive. Not to mention the long term negative effect of parents bad mouthing manual labor jobs versus desk jobs that are so easy to get with a college degree (Not!). So no middle class kids flip burgers or sweep floors anymore. No low income people will perform manual labor for modest wages when the Feds or the State will provide food stamps, low income housing, medical care, clothing, cell phones, cable service, everything needed to live comfortably if not modestly.

ww8888 • 7 years ago

At least some middle class kids still work. One of my sons worked at McDs flippin' burgers to help pay for college en-route to a Mech Eng degree a few years ago. Part of the culture that leads us to support Trump. He sees what the they take from his check now for taxes which only reinforces that support. MAGA

8540win • 7 years ago

Allow me to enlighten you. The Hispanics have the jobs, the bi-lingual foreman and supervisors see to that and turn away anybody but Hispanics. Their significant others breed the anchor babies, collect food stamps, low income housing, medical care, etc. Papasita uses the kids SS#'s (issued at birth) to get the job, which these new "little citizens" are issued. Don't believe me? Get in a grocery line and watch. The "Mrs." whip the EBT card out and the Mr. whips out his roll of 50's and pays for the beer. You will hear that illegals don't get these freebies, but the their offsprings do....after all THEY are U.S. Citizens.

Tspo • 7 years ago

Those wages were just fine before the illegals showed up. And, no decrease in cost for the service provided.

Tspo • 7 years ago

Roofing and hanging drywall are skilled labor. Not flipping burgers.

8540win • 7 years ago

....and they use asphalt shingle roofs in Mexico? When arriving on U.S. soil, illegal alien Mexicans know as much about installing a metal or asphalt roof as a burger flipper. It's a crying shame that speaking Spanish can now be a job requirement in the southwest border states.

Tspo • 7 years ago

In the southwest? I'm in Missouri. I've seen this in Indiana, Kentucky, Arkansas and here in this state. It's a nationwide problem.

Rob Andrews • 7 years ago

We need the immediate arrest of ANYONE supporting illegals housing illegals or employing illegals! Start putting managers in prison for 5 years for EVERY ILLEGAL they hire! Then go after apartment complexes!

HalfMoments • 7 years ago

20% is low. 95M able bodied working age citizens out of work.

DonReynolds • 7 years ago

94 MILLION AMERICANS have been pushed out of the labor force, MILLIONS more are actually counted as unemployed.
There is NO labor shortage in the USA, so there is NO reason to bring more foreign labor into the US for any industry whatsoever.
Some of these "migrants" will never in their life be employable and will remain on total welfare.

Ice Cream Man • 7 years ago

Send ICE Out to their RALLY - Do a Mass-Roundup and CLEAR THE STREETS!! #BuildTheWALL #IllegalsOUT #AmericaFIRST

BigGuy1949 • 7 years ago

It's not just rich people wanting cheap labor. The middle class has long been willing to hire service providers to supply home and lawn maintenance when the homeowners are busy or older and less physically able to DIY. Also take a look around most assisted living and senior care centers and tell us who makes up the work force. It isn't whites, and these days it's far fewer blacks than 20 years ago. It's now staffed with all sorts of Latin American immigrants. These places aren't occupied by rich old people in most cases. I say again the problem is a far too generous, or rather a broken and easily defrauded welfare system.

mikeklassic78 • 7 years ago

Excellent post sir!

Guest • 7 years ago

Hence, that's why the Chamber of Commerce wants to disallow Trump's plan for curbing illegal alien criminal acts.

sonneofmanisrael • 7 years ago

Like UCSF.

Rick • 7 years ago

I'm not trying to sound ridiculous or insulting, but, what illegals is Bill Gates employing? I hate the H1B visa crap but they aren't illegally here, correct?

SureFaith • 7 years ago

And, they bring in the grandparents to watch their kids, plus all of the other relatives who overstay their visas.

Howard Roark • 7 years ago

Just curious. What's 'highering'?

Chr1st1an • 7 years ago

Not even the rich benefit, because for EVERY nickle saved, a dollar is lost in crime, destruction of public property, ruining of once pristine neighborhoods, etc.

Jose no cut grass • 7 years ago

Hires*, hiring**

Maybe if u learn how to write And spell you can get your "high wages" lol

Winniethepoohlives • 7 years ago

Amazon, in Texas is offering 13 dollar an hour jobs. Part-time so they do not have to pay benefits. Google fiber 10 dollars. If, your freaking live in Austin, Texas that does not pay crap. Just work, for McDonald's Freaking, liberals cry about everything else. However, allowing you own to work on a decent dime - oh no...we will get some other person to do that. Screw, you ...aka illegals.

WhoKnowscs • 7 years ago

Congressmen would be fine working for 80 a day, Sitting on your @#$ and lying to you constituents can't be that hard. Especially with all the bribes/kickbacks they get from lobbyist.

Peabrain • 7 years ago

So in that case we should jail trump then since undocumented workers work at his golf course, right?

DonReynolds • 7 years ago

We do not normally jail the owner of the business for hiring illegal aliens. Normally, the people who take the rap are the HR manager and the Manager.....since they make that decision and forge the required documents.

8540win • 7 years ago

You mean the bi-lingual managers? If that wall ever gets built, fluent English better be a mandatory job app.

elisa orozco • 7 years ago

much, you make several good points but the one that gets my attention is going after those who are employing ILLEGAL ALIENS. That would be more efficient than deportation round-ups of individuals. Take away the jobs by SERIOUSLY enforcing E-Verify and prosecuting the employers. The ILLEGALS will not be employable but the deportations should also continue.

Tamara Mills • 7 years ago

Just get to work doing the jobs they were doing and shut up. Hey shine my shoes wash my laundry and make me a sammich boy
