This defeatist mentality is what got us here and illegals don’t take drug test why would you make our citizens take it?

You think procurement depts GAF? They see a bid 30% less than everyone else's and they don't care; they award it.


It’s not a procurement department’s job to vet a supplier’s workforce immigration status even if they were able. That’s on the actual company that hires the employees.

Depends on the facility, but I bet most do get drug tested.
What’s your plan to make Americans work the hard jobs and get off the government tit.

Time for the young men and teens of America to take their jobs back.


Until automation, AI, and humanoid robots replace them again in a few years, but at least the robots competition in the workforce in the form of cheap foreign labor will be eliminated by then.

Yep, that's the excuse they use, and exactly what I would expect.

One bid 30% below 3 other bids and no one questions that?
Of course not.

In theory, it actually is procurement"s job to vet the veracity of the suppliers, but in practice they rarely do this.

Historical these jobs went to black and white men who were starting their careers. Then came massive waves of illegal immigration and these jobs were taken by 30 and 40 years old illegals.


This is 100% correct.

I hired a white man to cut my grass. He left patches everywhere. When I called him and asked that he return to finish the job, he gave me his home address and told me to step in his yard and "meet my maker."

Hard times ahead.

Yes, they should definitely be doing their own job plus the HR function of all their suppliers.

Or their contractors can just hire legal citizens, and be held accountable by the authorities if they don’t. Which seems like a better system to me

Good on ice, by far and away the best thing the Trump administration could ever do.

Get the damn criminals out. We have enough homegrown ones already here.

Pretty damn easy. If you ever go through the checkpoint you’ll know its typically a third party security company just there to make a paycheck.
