Isn’t it illegal to hire workers that are not US citizens and do not have proper work visas?

This guy is 90% of the problem and should lose his business license and have all his property seized and sold off to offset the cost of housing and deporting his illegal workers.

I'm ignorant / naive about all this stuff. Like I have literally no idea if all the foreign guys who work for my company in our manufacturing are legal. The guys are amazing BTW (some Thai or Thai-adjacent group) - Zero chance normal Americans would do their jobs halfway as well and as reliably. On their hands and knees half the day working in 100-plus degree heat half the year.

How is a GC supposed to afford child support and a squatted truck if his illegal immigrant labor gets deported?

Translation: the owners can’t maximize profits by undercutting American workers.

I mean he was pretty damn clear about what he planned on doing.


Nah, I vividly remember hearing Trump confuse insane asylums/Hannibal Lecter with political asylum seekers often enough to know that he was definitely drawing a line of delineation between "the murderers, rapists, the mentally ill" and normal illegal immigrants. He preached removing the criminal elements first and foremost. That hasn't happened, at all.

If they want to raid worksites, churches, schools and such AFTER they get rid of the actual violent criminals, have at it. No one but the extreme MAGA are happy to see otherwise law-abiding, working people torn from their families while there are still plenty of violent illegals all over the country. They're racking up numbers the easy way rather than actually facing the criminal element.

Sure. Find people who do this work who will show up for work daily and can pass a drug test


They don't have to pass any tests for home or commercial building construction. You're thinking of INDUSTRIAL construction workers who have to pass a 3rd grade reading comprehension, drug testing and be LEGAL

There’s a new type of social influencer rising of men who go to new construction homes and show how bad the quality of work is


Not just the work, but the materials too. I wonder if the people buying these half million dollar McMansions realize just how shitty the materials that make up their homes are?

Let's be honest.

Part of this problem is there is a certain demographic that does not want to work.

the govt gives them money to sit on there porch and smoke.. they don't want to work.

You can pay these fools $30/hour and they still aint showing up.


Thats why we need to reform welfare. No able bodied 18-65 year old should be sitting on their porch.
