PARTNER WITH MEXICO, the LA RAZA DEMOCRAT PARTY and the PRO-BUSINESS GOP to keep wages for LEGALS depressed (today they are depressed to 1973 levels).
But you will still get the tax bills for the Mex welfare state and
crime tidal wave!
“Illegal
aliens are not supposed to work, and knowingly providing shelter for illegal
aliens can be construed as harboring and shielding, elements of a felony under
federal law, Title 8 U.S. Code § 1324.”
“Where aliens
and jobs are concerned, even many categories of nonimmigrant aliens (temporary
visitors) including aliens who lawfully enter under the Visa Waiver Program or
with tourist visas may not work in the United States and immediately become
subject to removal (deportation) if they seek gainful employment.”

NumbersUSA’s Rosemary Jenks:
E-Verify Ignored in DACA
Negotiations Because ‘Members of Congress Know It Will Work’
Members of Congress broadly oppose a
legislative nationwide E-Verify mandate for employers because “they know it
will work,” said NumbersUSA’s Rosemary Jenks, explaining why E-Verify is not
being pushed in congressional negotiations for an amnesty deal for recipients
of the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
Jenks further noted that both parties are beholden to special interests
supportive of “mass migration.”
WATCH: Whistleblower Says Illegal Aliens Have ‘Taken Over Every
Trade’ in CA Construction, Driven Down U.S. Wages

A
whistleblower in the southern California construction industry says illegal
alien workers have “taken over every trade” in the business while driving down
wages by an estimated 40 percent.
In
an interview with the group Progressives for Immigration Reform, a
whistleblower who was an independent contractor throughout the 1980s and 1990s
explains how the California construction industry transformed into one in which
American men could make a middle-class living off blue-collar work to a
business where wages have plummeted and illegal aliens dominate the field.
Blaine
Taylor, the whistleblower, said the construction industry in California once
offered a starting wage of about $45 an hour in the late 1980s. Fast-forward to
2018 — nearly two decades into when illegal aliens began flooding the industry
— he now says that wages have fallen by more than half, standing at just $11 an
hour.
TAYLOR:
If I hired a framer to do a small addition [in 1988], his wage
would have been $45 an hour. That was the minimum for a framing
contractor, a good carpenter. [Emphasis added]
For
a helper, it was about $25 an hour, for a master who could run a complete job,
it was about $45 an hour.
That
was the going wage for plumbers as well. His helpers typically got $25 an hour.
…
TAYLOR:
The reality is that a person that was hired as a laborer in 1988, I paid $15 an
hour and within a month if I could leave him on the job alone, he got $20 an
hour. If I hired somebody that already knew how to do certain types of labor or
certain types of operations, they would get $20 an hour.
Now, the average wage in Los Angeles for construction
workers is less than $11 an hour. They can’t go lower than the
minimum wage. And much of that, if they’re not being paid by the hour at less
than $11 an hour, they’re being paid per piece — per piece of plywood that’s
installed, per piece of drywall that’s installed. Now, the subcontractor can
circumvent paying them as an hourly wage and are now being paid by 1099, which
means that no taxes are being taken out. [Emphasis added]
Taylor
says that the flood of illegal alien workers contributed to wages in the
California construction industry plummetting between the 1980s to today.
Between
2008 and 2016, construction wages were actually lower than in 1998,
representing a roughly 40 percent drop in pay. At the same time, construction
materials, Taylor said, increased by about 50 percent.
INTERVIEWER:
It’s really strange because as a young man, of course, just entering your
working life, you’re making a living wage, and then as you got middle-aged, the
wage dropped, which is like… you know most people don’t expect in their careers
that they’re going to start out at the top and they’re actually going to fall
below where they are when they start.
TAYLOR:
Well, part of it was due to the market, but then there’s
the other part that really pulled it down and that was the influx of just a
flood of undocumented workers. [Emphasis added]
Meanwhile,
Taylor says that illegal aliens are dominating the blue-collar trades in the
California construction industry, with an illegal alien population that
potentially exceeds more than three million.
TAYLOR: Unfortunately,
what I have found, is that [the construction in California is] overwhelmingly
being built by illegal immigrants that have basically taken over every
trade. [Emphasis added]
Just
to go back for a second, in the 80’s and early 90’s when I was a contractor, it
wasn’t unusual to see undocumented workers doing landscaping, demolition, then
it became roofing, and concrete work. So the heavier, more difficult, and
dirtier sort of trades where you actually got in the ditches were the first
trades to be taken over [by illegal aliens], then the rest of them began to
fall.
The
drywall was next, painting, framing was the last, and now electrical and
plumbing has been taken over. All the trades finally went to the illegal
immigrants. [Emphasis added]
In
a 2017 report by
the Los Angeles Times,
the left-leaning paper admitted that at the time illegal aliens began flooding
the California construction industry, wages drastically dropped.
“You
can’t live on a wage of $11 an hour for a construction worker,” Taylor said.
“There’s no hope for people. Young people, as a young man growing up in
Detroit, you looked forward to hopefully working in the construction industry.”
“That
was an attractive career to go into as a young person,” Taylor said.
The
big business-preferred cheap labor economic model of importing more than one
million new legal immigrants every year to compete mostly for working and
middle-class jobs against Americans has resulted in decades of stagnant and
even decreased wages for U.S. workers:
Median earnings of full-time, year-round workers, 15
years and older, 1960 to 2016.
For
instance, the massive importation of low-skilled foreign nationals to the U.S.
has translated to a cheap-labor economy that has aided in keeping American
men’s wages stagnant for at least 44 years, as Breitbart News reported. Median
earnings for American men working full-time were actually lower in 2016 than
they were in 2007.
On
the other hand, President Trump’s economic nationalist efforts to tighten the
labor market by increasing interior
enforcement of illegal immigration has helped secure history-making wage
growth for American workers in the construction industry,
the garment industry,
for workers employed at small businesses, and
for black Americans.
Do We Really Have a “Labor Shortage” in the U.S., or Are We Manufacturing One?
It seems like there are three kinds of jobs in America: Those that Americans won’t do, those that Americans can’t do, and those that there aren’t enough Americans to do.
Perpetually high on the list of jobs for which there is a claimed shortage of workers is nursing. In one of the countless news reports about the “acute shortage” of nurses in the United States, a 2016 Atlantic article notes, “America’s 3 million nurses make up the largest segment of the health-care workforce in the U.S., and nursing is currently one of the fastest-growing occupations in the country. Despite that growth, demand is outpacing supply. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1.2 million vacancies will emerge for registered nurses between 2014 and 2022.”
To fill this so-called void, American health care institutions have been turning to foreign nurses. About 15 percent of nurses currently work in the U.S. are foreign born, and the health care industry is constantly clamoring for more.
So, if we are expecting 1.2 million vacancies in the coming years, there must be a good reason. Is it because:
- There aren’t enough Americans who are educationally qualified to enter nursing programs?
- There aren’t enough qualified Americans who want to be nurses?
- Eager, qualified nursing school applicants are being turned away in droves?
Turns out the answer is C. According to CNN, U.S. nursing schools are cutting admissions and rejecting record numbers of qualified applicants. In 2017, nursing schools in the United States rejected 56,000 applicants who met all the qualifications for admission. And, given that the average salary for a nurse practitioner is $97,000 a year, there are likely many, many more qualified Americans who would consider a career in nursing. But rather than expanding the capacity to train nurses in the United States, schools are reducing the number of slots in nursing programs.
The only logical conclusion that can be drawn from these facts is that the health care industry would rather spend money lobbying for more foreign nurses than invest in training Americans to fill these jobs. Until not that long ago, many hospitals had their own nursing training programs but decided to eliminate them as cost-cutting measures.
It would not be a stretch to insinuate that nursing is not the only sector of the U.S. economy in which there is a labor shortage because we have deliberately created one for the purpose of bringing in foreign workers.
