The majority have not gone away. They were taken by illegal aliens and other immigrants.
Absolutely not, illegals have taken many lowpaying jobs that US companies could not get American workers to take and some better paying jobs.
Technology and the Global Economy has taken away the majority of the jobs. But technology and the Global Economy have created many jobs.
Bullshit. Illegals are working in all the construction trades like carpentry, plumbing, electrical and so-on. They are also filling a lot of truck driving jobs. I used to be a carpenter when I was in my 20s. There were some Hispanics then, but now virtually all the people working in these trades are Hispanic.
You open borders assholes are just plain full of shit. Everything you post on the subject is a lie.
In those trades, I feel we need to go after the employer.
Also the American consumer takes the lowest price over the integrity of the company doing business.
All of us have to be willing to pay more and take the company not hiring illegals to lower costs.
You just got done claiming that illegals weren't taking American jobs. Are you now admitting they are? If the illegals weren't able to enter the country, there wouldn't be a problem.
It's not the consumer's fault, and it's not the employer's fault. It's the government's fault for not controlling the border.
Solving the problem after the fact is always less desirable then preventing it from occurring in the first place. A strong border - for instance, one with a wall - will solve the problem at a much lower cost and with much less political strife, but that's exactly what you don't want.
I strongly believe in enpowering ourselves not the government. That is called conservatism.
Responsible American companies should not hire illegals.
Businesses will do what their consumer wants. If a consumer wants a lower price, the business will meet the request by hiring illegals. If the consumer will hire the business that supports American workers then that is what we do. American citizen demand is a big part of hiring low cost illegals or shipping jobs to other countries.
I still feel the majority of jobs illegals take are not high paying jobs.
Instead of asking the government to do things, do them yourself. Start by not supporting businesses that hire illegals or ship the jobs off shore. If the majority of US consumers did this businesses would do what the consumer wants.
