I have said for years that the illegals do work no one else wants to do. Or are capable of doing.
In Florida it is not just the farmers who will be in trouble if all the illegals leave. The underground utility construction industry would be unable to continue without hispanic labor. Americans will not work digging holes or trenches with a shovel from 7am until 6pm in the heat. Sand is not hard to dig. But it is heavy, especially when wet.
I guess we don't apologize to the farmers and other industries that reply on hard working laborers?
We need to make the Work Visa programs easier to use.
When I worked in Florida on a big Verizon fiber optic project, we had a lot of hispanic crews working for our subcontractors. The ones I talked to about it were paying them between $500 and $750 a week, plus providing lodgings and food. That is between $26k and $39k a year, plus covering lodings and food.
Try hiring Americans to do that labor now. The company I worked for got tired of the hassles, so we put an ad in the paper for laborers for the fiber project.
We gave out over 100 applications. When they found out it was digging with a shovel, half of them took the application and left. We got less than 50 back. We hired 35 guys over a period of months. 9 of them worked a whole week. At the end, we had 3 American workers who stuck with it.
Try hiring an American and telling them that they will be digging holes and trenches with a shovel. You won't find them.
That is absolutely true. But the police and INS will hassle any Hispanic they see working manual labor.
Yes, some pay them little and the working conditions are dangerous. But not always. The workers on the Verizon project (contractors and subcontractors) were paid decently and the job sites were up to OSHA standards.
Translation:The loss of the trade schools and Vocational training is huge.
I worked as a laborer for a construction company in my teens. And as a land surveyor in my 20s.
But Americans don't want to do that work now.
“America can’t operate without these 21st century brown slaves, we must always have people willing to do shit work for shit money….but but but…I swear I hate poverty and income inequality.”
Hahaha…some things never change folks.
WinterBorn , remember when negroes did all the work your brown parasites do now? You know, before you replaced them?
