Border security takes 2 forms
1 is physical: the wall, guards all over the border, etc
you do realize the #1 contributing factor to illegal immigration is overstayed visas, right? the larger majority of illegal immigrants aren't physically crossing a border... they are coming through airport terminals and ports...

Massively increasing the number of deportations is a very good way to psychologically scare the crap out of people who want to cross illegally.
this i agree with... i'm totally with deporting illegals after they've had their due process afforded to them, as they are given under the law of the US Consitution... if they've been given that, and still been found to be here illegally, yeah, they gotta go

So obviously since his costs were less he was selling his houses for less than the competition, right?
Right?

Nah, not when retards want to make it easier, not harder, to import slave labor regardless of the actual impact to society.
Who cares if these migrants never assimilate and settle into enclaves, sending billions back to their shithole countries while sucking us dry so you can have cheap hammer swingers and chicken gutters. Right?

I’ve found legal immigration workers. The problem is business owners don’t want to pay the fees for going the legal route. It cost me 10k a year to get my workers. It easily done but others chose the cheap route and then complain when they get caught. I don’t feel sorry one bit for this guy.
Have an upvote. Do it the right way and our gov't needs to streamline the process for those wanting work and not handouts to get documentation and start paying taxes.
As a small business owner, it's shitty to do things the right way while your competition cuts corners and does illegal shite. It's always worked out for me in the long run. F$%k this loser. He needs to see some fines and penalties for knowingly hiring illegals.

Those guys get paid fairly well, just not union scale wages. They get a livable wage.
People who not in the construction business have no idea.. they think amigo giving a discount.., it ain’t about cheap labor…it’s the quality and quantity of the work they can perform… I’ve been in residential and commercial construction the last 17!years..,. truth is a lot if Americans weren’t priced out they aged out that’s Black and White workers… they sent their boys to college to do computer shite

$17/hr translates to about $450 a week after taxes without insurance

I feel really sorry for this guy that he can no longer exploit illegal labor.
You mean the labor we let into the country by the millions, gave assist and paperwork to and have depended on the last 20+ years?
People are ignorant af as to who does most of this countries manual labor and semi skilled construction. The dude is actual right.
Tell me please..who will do that work?

The great thing about the American market is capitalism provides for very quick adaptation. If he can't figure out how to make money, many others will.

How much is sufficient for unskilled and semiskilled labor?

Clearly more than they’re paying now

Most larger GCs (which is where you get your best pricing) don’t self perform any of the architectural or structural trades (which is where your immigrant labor performs). They subcontract it for lower cost, less time and higher quality than they could do it themselves
Seems most big commercial GCs now are just construction managers. Actually have no installation labor. Every trade is a sub or what they now call a “trade partner”. So they are hiring the lowest bidder that’s likely the lowest because they are using cheap labor. Likely not paying SS or Medicare because they are not legal.
So not only are they hiriring illegals that are taking the jobs of legal, they are defrauding SS and Medicare for everyone.

And many think fast food workers and Starbucks employees should be making $30 an hour and have benefits.
