Nice essay here with The Rest of the Story on the line "Jobs Americans Won't Do"--which line lie is pushed by the Greed Gang, and facilitated by both Democrat and Republican "representatives."
...Stevie was good and patient. He has that ability to measure with his eye. And so he was a very good drywaller, making a respectable wage with some benefits.
But about a decade later, he came back to my shop, needing work. He explained that his business had been taken over by mostly Hispanic workers, who worked as sub-contractors and were paid not by the hour, but by the number of sheets of drywall they hung. No benefits, of course. Their work may not have been great, but it was acceptable.
In all likelihood, many if not most of these new drywallers were illegal aliens. And in a one-decade cycle, drywalling became one of those jobs Americans just won’t do....
He has more examples, from roofers to CDL-holding drivers frauds.
You get the picture. So does the essayist:
....I truly believe that the president is doing all he can do, but now it is time for Congress to step up to the plate and call a halt to all immigration for 25 years. If there is a dire refugee crisis somewhere, then refugee camps can be set up outside the United States that can act as true temporary safe havens for genuine refugees. If there is a group of refugees who seem like a good fit into our culture, Congress can go into session, carve out and exemption, and pass it.
But perhaps Congress as envisioned in the Constitution is just one more job Americans won’t do.
Well said.
