Trump's deportation vow alarms Texas construction industry

[Marener]

I dont defend welfare queens as you well know

They are part of dems voting base not mine

Nope. Our college educated base represents the tax payers. Your high school diplomats are the ones sponging off of welfare because they can’t find any jobs. To fix this, you’re going to use tariffs to jack up prices for the rest of us to subsidize their lack of ability or lack of motivation to acquire more valuable skills.

The Trump base are people who can’t compete in today’s economy and live off of handouts. They will continue to live off of handouts one way or another.

A plumber or diesel mechanic is more employable than many ex-college kids with bullshit degrees in wokeness

They’d have to get off their lazy asses and learn how to be a plumber or a diesel mechanic first, but we know these guys aren’t motivated enough to do that so they sit on welfare waiting for Trump to bail them out with high tariffs and subsidies.

Which, coincidentally, is going to make the capitalists way more money than them.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

So are they admitting they've been using illegal labor?

Sounds like a bunch of people should be in jail.

Too bad they’re mostly not “the smart ones” because the smart ones went to college to get better jobs to pay the taxes to subsidize the welfare queens.

Its your allegedly “smart” college kids who voted for democrats and student loan forgiveness because being a soda jerk at Starbucks doesnt pay enough

Do they really have to admit to it?

You continue to imply college graduates don’t make any money but the data shows that they make over a million more than the non college grads.

The college grad working at Starbucks is a story you tell yourself to defend your worldview. The vast majority of college grads are earning more and paying more taxes. They have more earnings.
More productivity. More taxes. Less unemployment. Less welfare.

If the non-college grads were doing so great, why do we need tariffs?

‘"It would devastate our industry, we wouldn't finish our highways, we wouldn't finish our schools," said Stan Marek, CEO of Marek, a Houston-based commercial and residential construction giant. "Housing would disappear. I think they'd lose half their labor." Talk of a mass round up comes as Texas is booming. Texas cities regularly appear on lists of the country's fastest growing communities, and construction cranes and workers donning safety vests are common sites in most major cities.

That Texas relies on undocumented labor is one of the state's open secrets, despite Republicans' tough-on-immigration stances. In 2022, more than a half million immigrants worked in the construction industry, according to a report by the American Immigration Council and Texans for Economic Growth. Nearly 60% of that workforce was undocumented.

"The state needs to leverage both U.S.-born and immigrant talent to fill construction jobs that power the Texas economy," the report notes. "It's not remotely practical to round up and deport everybody," said economist Ray Perryman, the president and CEO of the Waco-based Perryman Group.’

Industries devastated by rightwing racism, bigotry, and hate – conservatives are truly this stupid and ignorant.

Hire Americans and fine the employers for hiring illegals.

Settle down, little lady. American citizens pushed out of construction jobs by illegals will be available for the jobs that open. Employers hiring illegals at a cut rate has always hurt the job market for Americans.

Your bigotry, hate and stupidity is pretty typical of the low IQ left.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

If construction companies are employing illegals they should be alarmed and prosecuted

Some do and some dont

Its your side that is bleating about wanting the government to pay off student loans for nearly worthless college degrees

Libs want workers to labor for slave wages

And they dont mind if they only speak spanish

 

[initforme]

You wouldnt

Thats your problem

Maybe that generation wants to be 25 forever

But I dont think so

This is just you making excuses and blowing smoke

Of course any mature, self respecting 25-
year old wants to cut the apron strings

But for many they have been lured into worthless low paying sit-down jobs when they would have been better off learning a skill and working with their hands along with their brain

But now they are stuck and too proud or stubborn to admit they were wrong

Oh well

A 25 year old living at home, working, saving is in no way something that detracts from the nation. Not sure why this is so horrific. Nothing wrong with getting married only after being financially set. There's nothing to be gained from getting married in one's 20s while lacking substantial savings.

 

[Marener]

Some do and some dont

Those college graduates are going to be paying way more in taxes than they will get in loan forgiveness.

Of course they could have just not gone to college and sat on welfare like your cohort. Then that would be fine with you.

Or they could wait around for the government to hand them a low wage low skill job that I am forced to pay for and they still won’t make enough to pay any real taxes and they’ll still wind up on disability which I’ll pay for too!

 

[westwall]

I mentioned before that a mass deportation of migrant workers was going to cause the price of a new home to go way up, and everyone laughed at me. Was everyone laughing because they know that mass deportation was a campaign promise that is not going to happen?

If true, I'll laugh right along with y'all.

Buuuuut, if a ton of illegals get shipped back to their home countries, the pressure driving the house prices up, will fall.

The housing crunch is BECAUSE of the millions of illegals.

DURRRRRR

Unfortunately many are spending the money on play instead of saving it for the future

50 years from now many of them will be demanding government subsidies to supplement their miserable lives

Which means they will be lifelong democrats
