Fill us in since you know so much.Mexico is not wanted here at all, except by lunatic liberals. All they will do is sell more dope and leave more invaders.
They saved a lot of lives in Louisiana.
Illegal aliens from Mexico rebuilt New Orleans after Katrina.
The worst hit parts of New Orleans was the 9th Ward, and the poorer parts of the city, which is where the day laborers lived. All the housing projects were destroyed. Almost all the laborers left town, went to Houston, and thereabouts, and never returned.Virtually every house in 3 parishes were destroyed, and there was noone to rebuild and repair them. The Mexicans began showing up at about 3 weeks after the storm. There were about 100 of them in front of all Home Depot's, and Lowes every morning. It took me 10 weeks to even get a contractor to come out and give me a prices for gutting the house, and start the rebuilding process. I hireds about five contractors to do various aspects of the rebuilding, sheetrock, floor tile, roof, cabinets, gutting, etc., etc. Only the guy who laid new tile on the floor had American help. All the others showed up with people who did not speak English. All my neighbors had the same experience. The city was well aware that these people were undocumented, but they were also aware that there was no one else to do the work, and looked the other way.
Having lived through 5 months of hell rebuilding my house, I am very grateful for the Mexicans. Without them, It would have been more like 10 months.
Great fantasy story. the truth of the matter is companies were charging high rates for construction and wanted to pay crap wages under the table like you did. They were bidding roofing jobs at $100 a square, while paying $2 a square to the laborers, and in many cases screwed them out of even those wages. Same for the other categories. The govt. ended up having to pay for laborers contractors left stranded here after being imported all the way from Brazil to work for crap money.
Of course nobody in their right minds is going to race down there and compete for low pay with criminal illegal aliens. Look up such things as 'self-fulfilling prophecies' and the like. If there is any genuine labor shortage in the U.S., it's an entirely self-inflicted one due to businesses discriminating against legal citizens.
Your post might have made sense, if you had the slightest idea of what was going on after Katrina, but, of course you don't.
