ATTN: People in the CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY !
If you, or someone you know is a LEGAL citizen working in construction... you are in for a doozy.
Fact: For years, illegals have infiltrated the construction industry by the millions, lowering not only the wages for most skill sets, but the overall quality of work. Wages have stagnated. Good people, and more importantly citizens of the US, have been forced out because they cannot compete with the cheaters. And the Government won't do anything about it.
We knew that.
But now it gets interesting. The "home" industry is imploding. The economy is getting weird.
The last 8-or-so years of construction and home improvement have been paid for with money that is ALL OF A SUDDEN GONE! No more home equity loans to add that Florida room, or finally fix the roof. No more flippers. No more new home construction. IT'S DONE.
And it will be very very dry, for a very long time.
But now we have a) American citizens, and b) ILLEGAL aliens competing for SCRAPS in a depressed, battered market.
If the illegals are allowed to stay, who do YOU think a homeowner, already strapped for cash, would hire to do those sidewalk repairs?
WHO do you think the major home builders will hire to help them build that last gasp of McMansions in order to eek out whatever profit is left... or to cut their losses.
WAKE UP PEOPLE! Now, more than ever, we need jobs... ALL KINDS OF JOBS to be available for the people they're MEANT FOR: AMERICANS.
Jeesh.
