Way too much exaggeration there Beagle. I'm in the business of medical instruments and consumables for over 20 years and my father started this business 18 years before me. I know tons of businesses and ton of business owners.
Most of these illegals are working for mom and pop shops, low paying jobs, dirty that Americans don't do. You make it sound that these illegals that barely understand a simple English are taking over high paying jobs. People like me and others that I knew is *IMPOSSIBLE* to hire illegals. About 80% of my consumables are made in China and Mexico but Adolf Trump products are 100% made in China and Mexico.
The ONLY way and ONLY way I can compete here and abroad is to make my products overseas. Yes I can make them here in America........ But are my fellow Americans willing to pay the higher prices? We are not talking $15 or $20 increases here. It's very simple economics.
Trump hired H1 employees and according to him he cannot find waitress, cook and janitors in Florida. I'm sure Trump supporters like you believed Trump.
I do not have H1B employees yet ............... but if I have to make my products here in US I do not have a choice but to hire H1B workers. Even that my prices are still way way too high. So if we bring those jobs back here in America according to Trump ........... Who do you think will fill in those jobs? Think.
The idea that illegals are just doing jobs that Americans don't do is utter nonsense.[/QUOTE]
There are lots of jobs now that are available for white Americans now............... Are they applying or working there now? Few yes but in general big No.
In my 3 warehouses ( Allentown, Atlanta and San Diego) alone 95% are Asians and Hispanics. Whiteys last maybe 2 or 3 days.......... Starting pay is $16. There are no such thing as minorities get less pay. And as I previously mentioned I know tons of businesses like hospitals and this is the pattern. We as business owners heavily talk about this all the time. So please tell me something I don't know.
Yes, well, there is the 'self-fulfilling prophesy' effect at work as well, as in after decades of discriminating against American citizens people just don't bother wasting their time applying at many companies or for certain types of jobs, and that also includes those highly skilled categories in tech fields that get millions of green cards just for the asking every year, so your anecdotal stories read like the same old nonsense being spread for the last 40 years.
As for 'having to compete with illegals', maybe those who think the economy is producing any other kinds of jobs should look up the last 30 years of 'job creation' in America and then they will learn something, like the fact that around 90% of those created are part time 'crap jobs', and that companies have been lying through their teeth about these Big Dire Skilled Labor shortages and all about how we all need to go to college n stuff, which is total BS as well, so excuse me while I laugh my butt off at the claims criminal illegal aliens are 'doing jobs Americans wont' do'; we have legal hispanic citizens now having to pretend to be 'illegals' to find work, and of course getting ripped off by the racketeers running those 'employment agencies' for all kinds of ridiculous fees.
