Link?

Pennies on the dollar if true.

How much do they build or maintain?

Try getting a white kid under 30 to landscape or put on a roof.

Unless the native kids work you need folks to do what they will not do.

Call my 19 year old brother. Honky as shite. Owns his own landscaping business.

The soft bigotry of low expectations from certain folks is astounding.

If that’s the argument you want to take, fine. But just understand what you are advocating...


If workers aren’t currently willing to do a job, the number 1 way to incentivize them to do it is to raise the wages. I guarantee you that a white 25 year old would be willing to do those things if you paid them more than twelve bucks an hour. But firms have no need to raise wages because they can import dirt cheap labor.

If you support the import of that dirt cheap labor, that’s fine. But you at least better acknowledge that it essentially amounts to a massive subsidy for big agriculture and construction business, and it’s doing that at the expense of increasing income inequality. But if you’re pro big business and you don’t care about equality, by all means, keep importing cheap labor
