That’s just it. It’s not skilled labor that many hire whoever for. Pulling weeds, mowing grass, clearing brush out of an overgrown fence line, pressure washing your driveway. All sorts of chore type work can be done by unskilled labor.

Nobody I know is asking for social security numbers for an unskilled labor job to get done. If a fence is being built, maybe 5 guys show up, 1 legal, 4 illegal. Cash is paid, fence is built, done. Done cheaper.

I wouldn’t hire just anyone to build a house and I do all of the chores around my places myself. But in 30 years I’ll probably hire it done, and I won’t be asking for a social security number, I’ll be asking for a price.

And in 30 years there will be illegal unskilled laborers here, just like there has been for decades.

In other parts of the south, and I am sure in the other areas of the country, the construction, landscape and labor industries are not overrun by illegally employed illegal aliens.

A big issue is the people who employee the illegals have padded their bottom lines for so many years with cheap labor, that having to pay actually skilled labor would make their heads explode.

Everyone in the construction industry from the top down- looks the other way. Every high rise, hospital being built is chock full of illegals and everyone knows. Sure they got some sorta documents that say other wise blah blah blah. It’s a joke to make everyone pass the buck and feel good.

Don't worry, they told us they were only going after murderers and rapists. Just the hardened criminals.

Illegal is illegal, should we have an order of importance, it would be nice- but all illegals should go.
