Thread: Lone Protester- Displacing the American Worker

I am writing the story of the displacing of a small businessman as it is happening to me here in the construction industry in South Carolina. I am trying to get the attention of as many people as I can because it is a tragedy in the making. And it isn’t only me that this is happening to, it is occurring in every community in this country. Almost every American worker in the homebuilding industry is experiencing the same thing, loss of work, jobs, lower wages, bankruptcy and being unlawfully forced out of business by illegal competition. And our leaders refuse to do anything about it. Our law enforcement agencies refuse to do anything about it. In fact every arm of our government that is responsible for the well being of the American people is working against us. They are on the other side. So where can I go to get justice for what is happening to me and millions of others. Simple, I have it figured out, no place and nowhere. I will give you some reasons why I have come to that conclusion.
Friday I received a legislative update from my state senator here, Joel Lourie, in it he states all of the things he has accomplished during his term in office. Illegal immigration is barely mentioned, only a couple of sentences stating that they had given legislation, making it illegal to give social services, food stamps and welfare to illegal aliens to the Governor to sign. That was it. It didn’t even say if he had signed it yet. Probably didn’t.
I emailed him, briefly told him what I was experiencing in my business and why weren’t the politicians trying to do more to fix the problem. I got a reply back the next morning. That is a record, 12 hours for a response. Lindsey Graham took about 4 months, Jim Demint about 2 months, I reckon local government really is closer to the people, lol, or maybe reelection time is just around the corner.
Senator Lourie’s response to me was that, and I quote, “I fully appreciate and share your frustrationâ€

First, there is NO WAY I would buy a house built by illegal immigrants.

1. Many illegals admit they have no skills in construction
a. But they work real cheap and developers love them.

2. Prices of these shoddily built homes are overblown.
a. Developers are not passing on the savings.
b. They should start saving for lawsuits by the homebuyers.

3. I've seen some of these homes in my area that have serious
structural problems and they are LESS than 5 years old!

4. If I am to pay half a million $$ for a brand new home, it had better be
built RIGHT in the first place!

5. I will stick with older homes (40 years and older)

6. Illegals are not properly licensed in many areas aka NOT TRAINED!
a. Would you want an untrained illegal to do your electrical work,
risking a fire hazard for work done unproperly? How about
plumbing?

No joke, a company my mom hired had an illegal install her heater and the house almost blew up! He hooked the pipes or valves up the wrong!

Unfortunately, the powers that be have caved to special interest groups in a misguided effort to be PC. The ACLU is killing this country with political correctedness. And they wonder why the natives are restless?

LoneProtestor another way you might get these contractors caught is by calling the IRS and reporting them.If they are hiring Illegals they probably are not paying taxes..........just a thought.....

Loneprotester,
Your plight is exactly why many of us subscribe to this site:
- The working class feels the pain caused by illegal immigration.
- Our working class makes sacrifices (wage declines, job losses, health care costs rising & availability decreasing, threat of crime, strained public education system). The US wealth class makes billions of dollars via ecomonic trade agreement across the US mexican border.
- The ruling class (both Dems and Reps) panders to Big Business. One favor provided: promoting illegal immigration rather than fighting it.
- Our president is an oil junkie. He'll do whatever Mexico wants to get closer to the Mexican oil fields.
