Many Illegals ‘Could Care Less About America’
They don't dream of assimilation, says one landscape business manager — they send their money back to their families

Just-revealed WikiLeaks emails show that Hillary Clinton wants a “hemispheric” open border policy, welcoming any person — from anywhere — who wants to take advantage of the great things this country has to offer.
Illegal immigration is already straining several sectors of the U.S. blue-collar job market. In a revealing interview with LifeZette, one manager of a large landscape company on the East Coast explained how illegals are changing his business.
“The biggest thing about illegals is that they are completely killing the labor aspect of my business — the landscaping trade,” said the upper-level manager. “Our laborers have papers, but that doesn’t mean they are legal. The papers are forged, most likely. As long as they can get themselves a Social Security number, that pretty much gets them the free pass to work here.”
This manager says it’s not the ability to pay lower wages that incentivizes bosses to hire illegals. “These illegals are very hard workers, for the most part. Why would we hire a man who won’t put in a day’s work?”
Most illegal aliens are not eager to be a part of American culture, in this manager’s experience.
“They are not interested in assimilation. They are interested in making their money, and in going home — [back to] family and friends. A lot of their money is sent back to relatives.”
“Many that I deal with could care less about this country, frankly. They’re just here to make their money.”
The illegal workers know that when supply and demand aren’t level, the worker has the upper hand.
"Surprisingly, illegals now expect a lot more than your average low-wage American would," said the manager. "Many I come into contact with come off as entitled. They want guaranteed hours and wages, for starters. We accommodate. We don't have a choice — that's what the market demands, so they ask for it — and get it."
So why aren't Americans inserting themselves into the manual labor landscape and filling these available jobs?
"It's a perfect storm, in our experience," said the manager. "What we're seeing is that some young Americans don't want to work. We just picked up three possible illegals last week who are already working for us."
The language barrier between bosses and illegals adds another strain to employing illegals. "Job-to-job, the language barrier is surmountable, but in terms of anything complicated — payroll, for example — or more detailed job planning, it can be virtually impossible to communicate. It's a challenge."
Is an illegal's pay under the table?
"They are paid the same way anyone else is. We write them a check, they are taxed, but there is no way for us to make sure how legitimate these Social Security numbers even are that we get from them."
