re: Those in construction: any talk of what happens when DJT deports your workers?

As a cabinet company owner, I for 1 will be thrilled that there may actually be nail guards over plumbing and electrical. Thrilled that studs won't be an inch out of place, that every jobsite won't be messy as hell

will only affect certain trades:
Drywall
Studs
Concrete
Mason
Painters
rod busters
certain carpentry
common labor
Roofing
Residentially it will affect a lot more than commercially
DLSD and DR Horton are screwed........
it will not affect plumbing/HVAC/Electrical as much
Industrial welding gonna take a hit though

Our best ones are all legal
Your best ones or your most profitable ones? Illegals seem to be the preferred construction worker because of cheap labor and abnormally quick work. New construction today is built like shite, so they aren’t really all that good. They are just profitable.

Who were working these jobs before 11 million illegal aliens were transported into this country. It use to be that Americans didn’t want to pick fruit and veggies, well that goal post moved. Just in lower Belle Chasse the LNG project has all but stopped hiring white or black workers, just illegals. They swapped 2000 workers out in last year. Take that nonsense somewhere else

Excellent. Less dependent on other countries for our stuff and higher paying positions in automated factories for our workers.

And far less workers.
Subsidizing automated factories seems like a loss to taxpayers and workers, and a win for corportions.

Do you people use FigGPT to come up with these brain raped threads or do you just copy and paste straight from reddit?

Musk has a bit of utopian in him. He overestimates the average person quite a bit.
In the Libertarian utopia, machines would perform our industrial work, and we would all be entrepreneurs, creating things and services for others.

personally seen "Mexican" framers do some shitty framing work
I'll take a minute and stand up for Mexicans. They only do the work that is asked of them in the time allotted. If given the time and expectations, they are capable of great work equal to any other worker. Most contractors only want to pay for the minimum they can get away with. Illegal labor usually delivers just that.
Mexicans are generally great people. It sucks that their country is in shambles. I wish I knew an exact reason for that situation because from my interactions with them, they should have a bangin awesome country.

Well considering that the Irish and Italians did it before anything that resembles a modern immigration policy, foreign born workers along with black folks did just fine. Same with the Chinese on the West Coast and the railroads.

You're actually seeing less Mexicans overall in the illegal types. All of our auto manufacturing that has been relocated to Northern Mexico has made work more attractive there for them.
You are seeing more from Central America

Lol
All LNG's are going to fall under Homeland security protocols which include background checks, this includes contractors. They aren't hiring illegals en masse.

There seems to be a lot of disagreement about whether or not these people are doing quality work in the trades. I completely agree that most are these people are decent folks, and very hard-working. Working hard and knowing what you're doing are two different things. The quality of work I've seen in Texas residential construction lately is absolutely mind-blowing, and not in a good way.
I don't really know what it's like in other parts of the country where it's mostly Americans doing the work, but I don't think I'd trust very many companies to build me a house right now where I live.
I'm pretty sure they're decimated the wages in a lot of the construction trades, and I know they have with equipment operators. But if we deported all those people overnight, we'd have some problems for sure.
