Exactly. I am an immigrant who satrted in this country painting houses. My wife is an immigrant as well and we are supporting legal, controlled, common sense immigration.
Ironically, the number of maga maggots in construction and agriculture who employ illegal aliens while shouting "build the wall" seem oblivious to their own hypocrisy and abject stupidity. Luckily they have the support of an orange orangutan in the white's only plantation house in D.C. TrumptyDumbty's buddies in Agriculture, Contruction, and Hospitality employ countless illegals and give a big middle finger to the rest of white america, and the pig faced, tiny hands, mushroom dick orangutan stands hand-in-hand with employers of illegals and laughs his ass off at the idiocy of his supporters.
I started framing houses in 1991 at the age of 16 earning $8 an hour, I worked hard and loved what I did, by the age of 23 I was earning $24 an hour, I had built my career and started building my family, I was married by 25 and a father by 27, I was raised to live within my means, to save money for the future and emergencies, life seemed great! But by the time I hit 30 residential framing had become so saturated with South Americans doing the work so cheaply that I couldn't find a job for more than $16 an hour, so I left what I loved and started over and worked my way from the bottom to become a licensed plumber. It's good work but not what I wanted to do, Being a plumber was not MY American Dream. MY American Dream, like many other legal Americans, was sold for votes by politicians with no accountability. Now at the age of 43, I think the worst part of all of this is that the cost of the homes being built doesn't reflect the price we pay for that home. Residential home builders are getting rich off of cheap illegal workers.
I got four years on you brother and I'm right in the same place - if anyone at the pub tried to screw me over like our elected officials do there would be trouble. This sure isn't the country I was raised to believe in.
@hell on earth dude ...evidently you are too stupid to see the truth of what he is saying....he is 100% correct and my life experience is virtually identical with his...only my drug was spending too much money and time fishing when I was young.
Its a catch phrase , when all else fails. USE THE RACE CARD. ..... then start making accusations , that's how they TRY to dissipate some of the attention away from the TRUTH , and change the narrative.( we all know the ILLEGALS are the most RACIST anyway..) .
Being a White licensed plumber in Arizona its no different my friend. Its unbelievable the non-licensed people that work for cash and you can't beat their price. And i never have done work for anyone i suspected to be illegal.We need to seal the border, talk to the rhino Republicans
Joshua Redding, when a black man describes himself, do you question why? Many times I see people of color post their race. Its not okay for a White man to do so?
Marquee Mark your race had nothing to do with the conversation but you just HAD to interject it into the discussion. As though being a white male somehow makes your opinion special and an important facet of the conversation.
Jason Clark “White is the new negro”? Wow. Honestly, sounds to me like the Republican wet dream. Deregulation of all anti discrimination standards. That’s if I was actually entertaining you.
Jason Clark, I don't believe Mexicans, Chicano's or illegals run many Licensed companies in the construction industry. Being in the industry 25 years in Arizona I have not met many
Every once in a while you come across a video like this one. Perfectly presented, logical, fair and real at every level. Blue Collar Logic, you've earned another subscriber.
everyone pointing fingers at each other its right in front of your nose, its congress shipping these jobs to other counntries for huge profits congress is greedy doesn't give a rats ass bout you.
My husband is a contractor and he hired four Latinos with green cards to do some work for him. They showed up at our house at 10 pm after they got their first paychecks angry and upset that payroll had taken their taxes out. They wanted my husband to reimburse them in cash for the taxes because "we don't pay taxes". My husband told them if they worked for him they did. They left, broke into the company's equipment shed, stole some stuff and disappeared. I was glad they were gone because they scared me to death.
Devin Peirce My husband called the police on the theft but they had disappeared. Not that the police even looked. As for ICE they had green cards so we didn't think of it. The green cards were probably forged but we couldn't tell if they were fake or not.
As a legal immigrant, I've spent my whole life being careful not to break any laws. People come here and break the laws right from the get go and they get rewarded for it. It's shameful. My father is a retired house painter from NYC and this guy speaks the truth.
The country thanks you for 1) coming legally, and 2) being respectful of the laws. It shows someone raised you right, friend. Here’s my context-I was born in Florida 13 weeks before JFK was shot. Parents moved around the Southeast US when I was young, but most of my school years were in Arkansas. Moved with 2nd wife and kids to Oklahoma in ‘99 back when Walmart Neighborhood Markets were new-ish. (OKCity was gonna be their area to get that store model out of its infancy and I thought management was for me.) Today is the Sunday after Trump was convicted. I’ve been to jail a time or three, for the sole purpose of visiting a friend’s brother lol. Just scrolling through the comments and wanted to thank you for what you and your family have added to us. (Us includes you, me, your people and mine.)
But you would probably cross a border to feed your kids. I'm not mad at poor people trying to make living. I'm mad at our politicians who have been sending mixed messages for fifty years. Finally we have a guy who wants to seal the border. It's possible to respect people and still not want them to immigrate illegally. Right?
no. I'm native American. we are few. we are not heard. And believe me when I say we know what being overrun by immigrants is. ask a native American, if you can find one.
you sir don't get it. don't expect you to if you haven't lived it. we get treated worse than any black or Mexican. we just aren't crybaby bitches like them.
They learn the trade and then go behind your back to take your customers. It’s actually common practice and how they start they’re own business on the side. You know side jobs offering your customers a better price. Many small businesses have gone do to this practice. Here in California illegals are being given licenses to start their own businesses but no one really specifies if they pay taxes.
Sandra Perales .....you can't be serious. Of what you just wrote...big bank take little bank ain't that what you white folks call the American way.....silly girl
Randolph Ross exactly I’m white I work low wages ...a lot of people I work with are Hispanics...I work mostly food industry and I’m slowly starting to become a minority in the industry theirs been times Iv worked restaurants and when the only non Hispanic there was me and a black dude ....now I’m not tryna discredit them they are HARD workers and tbh a lot of times work harder than us Americans ill be first to say Iv been shocked at how much and how hard they work ...does it stop me from getting a job tho ? Nah
@Randolph Ross survive via " corporate welfare" which are food stamps, Medicaid etc. Walmart gives employees applications for welfare with their paperwork. 2% increase in wages the last 40 years but a 4,000+% increase in 100 millionaire + , and the "middle class is paying for it all, only most don't notice it too much because the cheap goods coming out of China have yet to catch enough jobless to afford them. The time is soon though
I'm no fan of Trump but people who say that immigration is a positive for everyone or protecting our borders is inherently racist need to pull their heads out of their asses. This guy makes a great point.
George Lucas Well anybody who isn’t a fan of a President (first one in last 4 administrations) who cares about the future of this nation’s workers at all levels & then actually translates that caring into policies is a mystery to me. You are right about the racist term. Conservatives long ago it was what folks used when they lack intellectual argument.
I have worked around whom I assumed were illegals and they are very respectful people and have not had many problems with them. With that being said. I have been an industrial electricians for 15 years now. Every jobsite I work on now is approximately 50% illegal immigrants. The wages in my industry have not moved and in some cases actually fallen since I started and I’m 100% convinced it’s because of the illegal workers taking jobs at half the price. Not only are they taking our jobs but on top of this a lot of them don’t pay taxes and then send 75% of their money to their home country and that money is not put back into the system. This is a huge problem for the US economy . I think if we don’t stop this current situation it will inevitably crash our economy.
THAT is what people don’t bother to add! They may have jobs and make money in the country they invade... but they send the majority of that money home!!! They are a life-sucking plague wherever they go. They need to stay put in their own countries!
Absolutely what has happened. The ‘intellectual elite’ have a vested interest in keeping the flow of illegal immigrants. It’s for the cheap labor. The country was built on it. Until the labor unions stepped in and now the govt and it’s corporate lobbyists have eliminated the power of labor unions. So now, only govt unions have any power. The trades are too good a industry to let them go out like this. A lot of men and women worked hard to build America. We desperately need skilled tradespeople to rebuild American infrastructure. However, not too sure the next generation of American youth wants that kind of hard work. And that is a huge failure on our society at large. Ive been in the construction industry for 16 years in California.
I too have had illegal coworkers. Can't really blame them for the red carpet our establishment Congress rolled out for them. The incentives or leaders give them are just too great. And everyone is fooled by their immigration "crackdown" TALK, which oddly, never really materialises. The mainstream media never really points out how our weasel officials keep promising to close the borde but vote otherwise.... Either way, theyre criminal demographics are probably similar to ours, which means, we have more than enough!! You forgot many get food stamps, they ALL get free education, free medical, housing sometimes and other benefits as well, especially in California, Washington, Minnesota, Illinois, New York etc. I've talked in detail with many of illegals and learned they have it down pat. Things like getting drivers license in Washington and New Mexico for over 20 years! That's where they'd all rush to years before other states offered false voting identification. I mean drivers licenses.....nothing against the non criminals. They're practically being begged to come here. Can't blame them, it's our corrupt media and politicians stearing our sheeple, non- critical thinking voters to keep voting for the establishment.... All told, if illegals make 30k/yr, for most, after their first 6 months figuring out the system, it's the equivalent of making 50k/yr. And the reverse for an actual u.s. citizen who's paying their way. ........ Tell me this, if Mega millionaires and Billionaires increased hundreds fold since the 80's but wages haven't even kept up with inflation, about 2%, where did they get all that money? Hmm. Any critical thinkers reject CNBC/ CNN/Fox's synopsis that the Facebook's and the Ubers "did it"? Riiight. Love how the republicans stand up for the ultra wealthy because "it's the American way" and won't be pragmatic about the cause and effect of illegal labor for fear of sounding like a Democrat. MEANWHILE Democrats are just as dogmatic and exploitative as Republicans, if not MORESO!... Been to Microsoft, Amazon or many other tech campuses? You'll think your in India. The corporations have been abusing the worker visa laws for decades, virtually enslaving foreign workers on a throw away rotational bases while American techies are passed by. Everyone from At&t to Disneyland have been doing this slave/purge legal corruption for decades yet you barely hear about it in the news. Hmmm. It's obviously all well planned if you look at the law changes involved. But again, no where near the news coverage the Kardashians get... The sheeple just continue to ignore the facts. That it's the ESTABLISHMENT of both parties that are corrupt. The rest is smoke and mirrors. Politicians like McCain get reinstated every election despite not doing what they said they would. Convenient excuses abound for decades.......No, it's cheap labor via artificially suppressed wages screwing us all. Even Mexicans..... Imagine what a wonderful place Mexico would be if most of those ambitious hard workers would stay in their country to revolutionise and fix the country? If the right and left of America (especially the chamber of commerce) would stop encouraging the raping of our jobs/incomes, we could help their people overthrow their real leader, Carlos Slim, and their other Oligarchs but he's paying off too many of our politicians and media as it is now.....The saddest part is all the sick and elderly left alone so their family could "flee the hardships" of their country. Then again, America created the crisis in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras and Venezuela too. Our " interventionist" war monger establishment leaders insist on seeing up every country on the planet to make money via the military industrial complex. See Tom Cruise's recent movie American Made for a great recreation of a piece of that..... Oh yeah, the " wall" is silly to even be a debate, obviously necessary, but not even half the source of illegals : 1) 60% of illegals are VISA OVERSTAYS and take planes l, trains, and automobiles. Laws have been passed to track them and send them warning letters and fines etc. But, for 30+years since it was passed its been deemed "too complicated" to enforce. Ha! Lol, right. 2) how many people are being hurt instead of helped by people leaving? They are capable of revolution and civil war as we and many other countries have done 3) the "wall" was passed during Bill Clinton's Presidency but didn't get enough funding and some Rhino Texan got it thrown out somehow in the early 2,000s but it's hardly mentioned ever 4). a sovereign nation requires borders to be sovereign. Just the potential for criminals and terrorists alone is more than reason enough for any sane, critical thinker. Add to it, a potential calamity like Mexico cities volcano causing 10 million people to rush or border in a week and it's obviously a must..... Dems want votes and cheap labor, Rhinos want cheap labor and Dems to rule. Eisenhower warned us of this. ...Ross Perot couldn't get it done, our only real hope is a smart independent like Rand Paul.
My husband works as an electrician and he constantly loses jobs because of the illegals. He is told he works too hard or expects too much ie respect and a decent wage. It is very frustrating and most of the time their attitude sucks. Worse are the illegals who “own” businesses. I say the only way it will change is if we start calling ICE and let the chips fall where they may!
Q Vet here in California, are hands are tied concerning ICE. This very wicked governor we have made the state a sanctuary state and has told illegals to come in and we will let them vote, use our benefits, go to our schools, etc. Hopefully, next election, we can turn this state red and get these people out of our state! They're everywhere and aggressive and even threatening. Illegals!
KATHLEEN TRACY call ice california cannot violate federal law!! Its started to work albiet slowly. Some citizen needs to arrest that governr what could they really do to you put you in jail until the feds released you? It would send a message that were sick and tired rather than complacency. Luckily i don't live there but i understand these parisites are messing up our economy, I'm a computer programmer and even im effected. Since all these mexicans send all my countries money too support their trash country no entrapunear can invest in me.
KATHLEEN TRACY yes we need to take California BACK VOTING 🗳 AN LOTS OTHERS TO IN CALIFORNIA MAKE CALIFORNIA GREAT AGAIN !!!!!!! deport deport deport Kate’s Wall 👍👍👍👍👍
Im a north Texan legal citzen and working on making a electrician buisness to Only hire hispanic /Mexicans .. no blacks or whites . BROWN INVASION .NORTH TEXAS
Although it does omit the fact that those “corrupt” countries are corrupt due to our government’s interference. Basically we screw their countries up for our own ends, leave it a mess, and then get upset when the people of those countries risk everything to come here to escape the mess we made. If the OP can acknowledge that, I can agree with most of what he’s saying
See my comment, in the main thread, from a minute ago, as$-pack! You're one of those LibTard politicians, aren't you? To stupid to do b the math; so, I do it for you! I'm not being nice, because y'all need shock therapy or get off the crack/fentynil or something, to wake you up! This whole country is accursed, in a deep DARK stupor! Rabbi Joseph
I got my 1st job back in 1968 working part time for a house remodeling company in Houston. The man I worked for would buy old houses and would repair them and resell sell them for a profit. Today we would call this "house flipping" and there are many shows now on TV about people doing this. Back in 68 in Houston many different people worked for my boss. The man who owned and ran the company was a retired navy veteran (who was a Hellcat pilot that flew off the Yorktown durning the battle of Midway) and he hired all races. We had about a 50/50 split between white and hispanic employees and the number varied according to work that needed to be done. Most of the plumbers and electricians were white and the majority of the painters and roofers were hispanic. I never knew or even though about it till today. The electricians and plumbers needed to be licensed to do many of the jobs and the painters and roofers did not. My boss didn't question whether you were here illegal or not as long as you showed up for work and got the job done. We were all paid in cash at the end of the week which was great. Everyone got along and we didn't have any problems at work because anyone who didn't do his work or caused problems didn't get a call back for the next job. Funny how things were simple back in the 60s than they are today.
As an American Veteran (who happens to have Mexican parents), I completely agree with you. Seal the borders, protect our citizens, and encourage LEGAL immigration. It was refreshing to hear a voice from the "silent majority" rather than the noisy extreme left or right we are accustomed to hearing.
God bless you sir for your service to this Nation & for your parents who CHOSE to become Americans the right way! If only more people immigrating here were as honorable as your lovely family, we wouldn't have as many problems as we do now. We can make room for everyone - we just need them to enter the right way!
Unfortunately, they're still not only accepting undocumented students into college, they're also giving them Federal Financial Aid. So, not only are they going to be doing all the "undesirable" (read; manual labor), they're also going to be getting the jobs that require degrees. Also, because so many of the potential clientele are unable to speak English, bilingual workers will get hired before legal citizens... All of this while housing & food costs increase, due to supply & demand...
Actually, they are restricting Asians, born in the USA btw, in college not because they are stealing the white collar jobs which they don't. They deserve those jobs with the kind of brains they have. Asians and whites are restricted because of affirmative action in college and universities whereby slots are given to blacks and Hispanics despite scoring a lot lower than Asians. However, Asians can still go to other colleges that will take them in. It is just that the Ivy Leagues will bar other high-performing Asians from entering their universities to fill the quota for other minorities. I guess, when it comes to academics, Asians are not seen as minorities.
OMG!!!! I would vote for this guy for a cabinet position, or Secretary of Interior or WHATEVER in a heartbeat, if one could only vote for such!! He speaks intelligently, seems to have the work ethic my father taught me, and respects other races and classes the way we ALL should! We are not losing OUR country slowly through ILLEGAL “immigration” from our borders, we are losing it through continued attention to and slow implementation of the agenda that wants this country socialized and ultimately destroyed!!! I AM AN AMERICAN! BORN, BREED, RAISED, FOUGHT FOR AND WILL DIE DEFENDING!
He lives in a hugely Democrat district where one of Nancy's cups of water could get elected if it has a "D" next to it on the ballot. I live in his district, and yes, I would vote for him in a heartbeat.
@@1trucxhondamov589 that's like saying white people are crazy and always do school shootings... or saying guns are to blame for the shootings.. Every race has trash..be it white, Asian, Hispanic, black and so on.... Californian is the 5th largest economy in the world. 75% of innovation and technological advancements come from kids of immigrants. Dont be ignorant you probably have a smartphone use it, it's a smartphone for a reason.
@@Music19902008 That's a typical leftist comment. That's why liberals love you guys and us conservatives can't fkn stand you. Do better loser? Why don't you do better and fix your own shithole instead of coming here and instead of being happy just to be here and benefit off a system that actually helps you, you call someone a loser for telling you facts. BTW, loser, I can't count how many fk ups I've had to go behind and fix because of people just like you....so do better loser. Build a better fkn house next time so a gringo don't have to do your punch list to get the shoddy workmanship just to pass code.
I'm a carpenter that has been working for myself since 2001 (-6 years Army) and what you're saying is also 100% TRUE here in the northeast too, just on a smaller scale. I have been personally effected by this a GOOD FEW times. Keep making these GREAT, TRUTHFUL videos. Majority of Americans are afraid to speak up like you (and I) in fear of media and social backlash.
I really do not care how polite they are. If they are illegal, they have broken the law, and are now criminals. If they wanted to become citizens, they would have. We have, in our country, BUSINESS owners, who are STILL illegals after living here for over 30 years. They have had 30 years to become a citizen, yet they CHOOSE not to. This should not be tolerated no matter how productive they are.
Thank you. So sick of the sad stories about how great they are when they get deported, crying children appealing to everyone not to depart their dad, uncle, brother. Don't make your family sad, don't come here illegally and get deported. The liberals almost wrecked this country with their open borders, there is a new sheriff in town now folks, you are going to have to get used to the fact now that we are tired of our country being over run. Door is closed.
AOM - you make some half-truth points that should be clarified. #1 The Mexicans in Socal and other states/areas, are/were not indeginous to that land, they came from other parts of Mexico, unless they are Yaqui, Odham, and a few others. #2 Mexico stole that land from Naitives also, they were occupiers. #3 most or at least a very high %age of the Mexicans that are now Americans, were anchor babies and should not have been here. Your second paragraph is great and I agree with all of it!
AOM - All true! But there are also tons of Hispanic, black and even Oriental and Asians who are anti-Caucasian snowflake socialist anti-American traitors as well! PS my husband and I are both immigrants!
Oriental reffers to a region. It is broadly and widely understood as such. Its more accurate than Asia because Orientals do not have anything in common with Indians or Sri-Lankan's or Afghanis, etc. Asia is a big place.
Mexico was not a country when there were just tribes. But after it did get created, they kicked off many of Naitive tribes and stole their lands and resourses. In Chihuahua now, tons of Naitives are jumping of cliffs and bridges, because the Mexican govt does not have reservations where naitives can have their own resourses and make a living. Mexican (that area, before it was Mexico) tribes have been killing and enslaving eachother for thousands of years.
@Amed Tajan i think that can be said for everyone on the extremes of the political spectrum. What I particularly appreciate about this video is the rational discourse. It sure beats the hell out of the primary school-level polemic that has been going on these last few years
it would seem that way to ignorant, naive and uneducated people. Ever heard of civics? (cut and paste again....) The REAL problem is with the policies of the democratic party, not the immigration laws. Firstly, take minimum wage, guess what? By implementing minimum wage laws, everyone's rent goes up - even for your illegal immigrant employees working "under the table". The price of everything else, like food and utilities go up. Then your taxes go up to pay for building affordable housing. These increased taxes always leads to people moving out of the city to more affordable places, which leads to taxes going up even more for those who stay in the city... Then there's the fatherless epidemic in our communities which would not be the huge problem that it currently is if the democratic based social programs to "help" single parent homes didn't exist. That increases your taxes even more. Statistics show that crimes go up as single parent households goes up, so guess what? More taxes you pay to police them. With fathers, these kids would be raised better, and then instead of joining gangs in your city, they'd be part of the work force that you'd be hiring, and again, with the proper upbringing of a two parent household, they'd do a good honest job and not steal your tools. You'd be paying legal citizens the same amount that you pay the ILLEGAL immigrants AND you'd be paying less taxes. The illegal immigrants don't steal your tools and are such "great workers" because you have them over a barrel with the threat of deportation. I could go on, but I think I made my point.
Wow 😮 this is what we in Florida are experiencing also!!! For the better part of 25 years I’ve lost job after job because I have to pay insurance and pay taxes so I charge more than my competitors do besides pay for just my family in one house. They come in cycles for 5 years save up money live 6or 8 guys in a household and move back and retire in their own country. How can I ever retire now I lost millions of dollars because of illegal workers who’s going to help me when I need to retire?? Great job on video I couldn’t have said it better !!!!
That's correct sir it's been at least 25 years I'm an electrician and I can't work for anybody else I won't make enough money I have to work for myself
Im a welder/fabricator in florida and not only can i not find a job paying more than $15.00, mexicans and Puerto Ricans have flooded the only jobs that are here to the extent of now having spanish bosses at most fab shops.. I was born here, that SHOULD mean something!
I was expected to help with cooking, cleaning watching my sister and brother at 11. My daughter was expected to do chores now she is in college and doing great working a job and going to school. Little chores never killed any child or husband for that matter. Stop wrapping your children in bubble wrap. Let them live
Bless you Exactly!!!!!! The teens have nothing real to do! Crimonely It makes me furious!!!!!!!😡 This insanity needs to end!!!! I love your video!!!!❤️ Excellent! I hope you can get this message out! It also takes the love of ones own home “work” away. Kids need to be watched by their own family Not cheap immigrants. Not good for us Not good for them. Whose watching their kids!? What a mess....
5th Generation Californian and Builder for 35+ years and could not have described the situation better. A+ Now my two cents: I think one of the simplest solutions would be to tax all money transfers from the US to south of the border. By doing so we would one force documentation of people here as they would be the only ones allowed to make transfers and two decrease the incentive to work for cheap wages as now the money earned would be taxed.
I'm white and was a truck driver and delivered to mostly Hispanic stores throughout Southern California. I really liked my job because every day I got to see my Hispanic friends at all of these stores. I got to learn a lot of Spanish and I helped them with their English. They are a very friendly, hardworking people that will give you the shirt off their back if you need it.
Interesting. Very different prospective than what I read and hear about in Spain. Can you show me a picture of yourself? It would add more proof to you're statement.
TCC Your comment makes zero sense. High school dropout? What does Spain have to do with his comment? Do you even know where Spain is located on Earth or who the Spanish people are? Wow. You must know nothing about Spain and its history in America. Just wow.
Why does my comment make zero sense? I asked for a picture and stated Jdude's experiances are different from what I hear and read about Mexicans in the USA from news in Spain? I'm fairly certain that's what I typed. As for my education, I'm a college graduate. I ought to know where Spain is since I live in Malaga. This might shock your ignorant self, but most Spaniards don't look like Amerindians.
Ten years ago I was a finish carpenter that did stairs and only stairs...it was one of the last trades in new home construction that the illegal immigrants had not impacted much...for what ever reason that was we made 2 to 5 times as much as even other skilled trades like electricians. One day a carpenter installing cabinets who spoke decent English comes up to me with an accusatory attitude asking why stair guys were the only ones making great money. So I asked him if he could handle the truth. I told him Ill tell you exactly why but only if you promise not to be mad at me for doing it.He reluctantly agreed and stood there listening while I out lined exactly why he as a cabinet installer working for a company that had zero native born americans working for them was making less then guys doing that exact same job ...a lot less...about half what they were getting 25 years earlier. My reasoning was exactly what this video was about and why I am so anti illegal immigrant.... As I explained you could tell he was getting hot under the collar but im not a little guy so I wasn't worried.... What also has happened is illegals have learned that their wives ,if they tell the social worker that he isn't a part of her life anyone, can get the basic needs of the family like food rent medical and better rates on utilities etc from welfare type programs....so he could even begin to afford to work for 1/4 the buying power that that trade used to have....socialism has chickens coming home to roost every day and this is one big ass rooster barging into the barnyard.
I’ve been telling this for 10 yrs no one wanted to listen I’ve been called racist the whole time. The lies the illegals told and brainwashed Americans that Americans were lazy and didn’t want to do these jobs. Nope they were stolen by illegals immigrants cause they would work for slave wages. And most of the time the dummies that hired them need them to do work over and over cause it’s never done right the first time. And how their women get our tax dollars welfare while these men bring home money and they send the welfare back to their countries. Now blk Americans are seeing it all were calling all of us Native Americans racist I bet they’re feeling in now in the east coast
Go to any Home Depot, Lowe's, or DIY store at opening, there you will see tens to hundreds of "day" workers... legal or illegal, i do not know...but they are there every morning, the hispanic "day" worker...
You're right, the Home Depots in Connecticut is the same way.. You can spot illegals a mile away. they are nervous in public places.. 100's of Illegals sit with their lunch bags on a street corner in Stanford CT. waiting for contractors to just pick them up for cheap day labor... Cops and City officials ignore it.. E-Verify won't help a thing. Employers know they are Illegal, they want to pay low wages.. *Every Employer* has to ask for a Social Security number for tax reasons.. Every American has one. If the Hombre don't have one, He's illegal.. Simple as that.
Damn this guy should run for President. This is an excellent example of how a politician should react to the situation. With "Logic and Experience"...seems like most if not everyone agrees in the comments section. This was presented well. Thank for the video. Let's stand together and Fight the "Real Enemy"..."Corruption and Greed".
Great video! All you said TOTALLY resonated with me. I also started doing wallpaper, paint & plaster in the mid 80s here in NYC 15 years total. I worked for multiple contractors on a freelance basis. As more & more illegal immigrants came here I started getting called less & less and was even fired for asking for a raise at one steady gig simply because they had another guy(illegal) they could pay less than what they paid me, who knew how to hang paper, though not close to my level as I had apprenticed with a paperhanger and later also attended the Paperhanging Institute in Fairfield NJ. Also someone I had worked 10 years for freelance, who was also a "friend" replaced me with an illegal. My wages also were frozen in place. Thinking back I probably should have joined the painters union. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20. Eventually I couldn't make a living so I became a street musician which is a whole other story. Anyway, thanx & keep up the good "work" 😉
Maya Miele initally I missed the sarcasm in your comment and wondered how someone could be soo stupid but then.. The poster of the video took it literal. I was beginning to think that you and him could both be Street musicians and start your own band
Blue Collar Logic you realize her story was one of irony right? You think she was happy to be undercut and driven out of a job to be a street musician? It took me a couple reads to get through the sarcasm but I did and you seem to embrace illegals undercutting jobs.
@Jr Reyes Yes... I attended back in the late 80s. I had apprenticed to a paperhanger for 2 years prior to that, stopped doing trade work for a time to work as a guitar teacher. Wasn't making a decent living at it so decided to go back to trade work but didnt want to go back as a helper. Found out about the Paperhanging Institute in Fairfield NJ. They had a 3 wk. basic course or a 10 week FT pro course which is the one I attended. After that I worked on a freelance basis for various contractors, at times 1 company exclusively and also contracted my own jobs at times. You can find info for the school online.
i ( a San Diego painter) seen this just now and will watch at lunch . from experience L.A has a much higher pct of "no habla ingles" due to its sanctuary status
One thing I would like to add to your video. For some odd reason we as a society have chosen to look down on the blue collar working man. Our country needs a attitude adjustment
wildtill9 because of the media. the media always shows the luxury the easy life the fame and people flocked to big cities to find this life. i wonder how many ended up from these as crack addicts on streets. Nowadays a lots of young people want to be twitch and youtuber millionaire. (they look up to asshats like pewdiepie and jake paul)
Exactly. This is why the people with power don't care about the depressed incomes, and also why Leftists are racist as hell while virtue signalling--they don't see the brown folks mowing their lawns as part of the same group as they are, and it'd be uncomfortable for them if they were. And they look down on whites who are in that other group--clearly something wrong with you if you work with your hands, they assume that means you don't have a brain to work with. Meanwhile most of them produce nothing of any worth: they've got to sneer at the working class, because if the working class were not contemptable, they'd have to admit that what they do is nothing.
You work with your hands. You understand how the building trades work. You understand how illegal immigration affects wages. You have a strong work ethic and you perform your work intelligently and ethically. You must be a “deplorable”. - best regards from someone in the same “basket”.
Jim Ivey a deplorable would be someone that sucks on Trumps teat whenever he says something that’s a straight up lie. A deplorable would be an idiot that has die hard faith in a crooked businessman that was handed a silver spoon from birth and has never had to work with his own hands and feel sweat on his brow.
Jason Clark Nice red herring. So why don’t you address a few things about your orange lord and savior? 1st: Why is it magically okay for the Trump organization to hire foreign workers on H1B visas when he consistently has campaigned on hiring American only and making statements about foreigners stealing our jobs? And don’t even suggest that he could not find Americans to take those jobs. 2nd: Why is it magically okay that many of his products are made in China and imported here? 3rd:Why is it magically okay that he did not divest from his business assets, something highly questionable ethically? (And don’t even try the bullshit excuse that it’s him being a shrewd businessman, it’s called putting your money where your mouth is; he’s a fucking hypocrite.)
I have watched a boat load of your videos, but wow, this one really got me. The sensibility was overwhelming! And a little plus, I have to think it blew AOC's little mind! 🤣 Nice to hear from a real, boots on the ground, kind of guy. Thanks for this and all your work.
Amen !! I worked with Mexicans in Landscaping and they are the best people in the world in my book . I agree seal the borders and let them go through the legal process .
Green Giant : I never said I liked them enough to live beside them . Alot of them are just here trying to make a living and won't cause any trouble . But then you have some that don't give a rats ass and will be very destructive and don't care. The majority of them are just here to work and provide for there family's . It was the same way in the 1920's n 30's when you have all kinds of immigration going on . You get the good and bad no matter where you go .
@Green Giant lived in primarily Latino neighborhoods for the past 60 yrs, my sister married a Mexican who was about the best man and were married 50 yrs, I worked for a temporary agency and Latinos hands down my best workers, so go ahead and spread Trumps hatred and rhetoric, allot of us know better
I’ve been in construction for 20 years and can barely get work because I won’t work for slave wages, I get work because I’m white and people can understand me, and I do quality work, not so much with Mexican workers, some do very good work but most do subpar work at best. But it has gotten so bad I’m getting out. Moving to wear I can get English speaking workers and pay is good for me and my employees. Illegal immigrants and big corporations are destroying this country. No more pride in work or products. That’s what made this country great! Illegal immigration is destroying middle class, big corporations destroying quality products because the board members only care about profit, and why should they their name isn’t on it.
I'll pay a white guy more money any day of the week for quality work. I myself and Hispanic, but I was born in Texas, and I feel like only hard working Americans should reap the benefits of this country.
I find it funny you say "I get work because I'm white and people can understand me" then 2 sentences later, "Moving to wear I can get English speaking workers...". I understand what you're saying, but I do find it funny when people use this logic and then use the wrong words thus making their arguments and points hold less validity as you are showing you cannot speak or understand the language much better than these illegals. One important part of any job, checking your work before being finished, this should be applied to arguing points on political or any topic really online where typing and your spelling and grammar is all people have to base their judgement of you. Just show you actually do a good job by actually rereading and grammar checking. I understand the "grammar police" thing, but I feel it stands to be pointed out when the argument is calling into account the grammar and language skills of people, including the OP. All that said, I do my work myself, or find a local contractor who runs his own business to do the work. I find if it is their name on the company, and they are coming and doing the work then it means a lot to them to do a good job and get a good reputation to grow their business. I was also offered a job driving for a local company, however when I went for the interview I had noticed his entire crew was hispanic. I was the only white guy beside the company owner, and not only was I to drive to the job sites, which required a class B CDL, I was to work with these guys after getting there, He offered $15 an hour, and I said no thanks and walked out. That is how bad these construction jobs have become here that even a paving company that only works part of the year cannot even give a livable wage to their CDL drivers. Point of reference, CDL drivers should not take a job unless it pays a minimum of $50k a year here to start or they are being ripped off. More appropriate pay for CDL jobs is $70k to start here.
AcidicJO Do you know all the stuff required of a truck driver? You have to inspect the truck and trailor multiple times, you spend long periods away from home, and you have to deal with the morons who can't drive. So yes, truck drivers do deserve that money, else there is no point to doing the job and being out on the road for up to 6 months at a time without going home(I know people who do this). Truck drivers have stricter laws and consequences, required physical every 2 years, drive in any and all weather conditions, some companies issues penalties for late deliveries. So please, unless you actually understand what you are talking about, don't speak on it. I also know engineers, ME's and EE's, and their job is simple, they sit at a desk on a computer all day looking at blue prints. Pales in comparison to the required things a truck drivers goes through on a daily basis.
spirittammyk funny you say that . Not that i dont like working with the public but i dont think i can remember who ordered what. I also use the time listening to recorded lectures on my micro cassette recorder thing while painting
Well, I'll tell you one thing, service jobs are also in danger. I used to work at the largest grocery store in Florida, Publix. Worked there for 8 years. 2 more years to go, and I would have been on the road for a very nice retirement, but instead, I get fired for selling alcohol to a minor, but in the end, was an illegal kid with a fake ID, and we don't have an internal system to scan the ID to make sure it's legit. I tried to fight it, but they have that clause that all problems between the company and employees will be settled within the business, so I couldn't even get a lawyer to take it to court to defend myself because of arbitration laws. I go back to the same store I worked at, and noticed they hired two Haitian immigrant workers at half the pay I was getting in my place. Then a friend told me Publix has been on a roll, firing all natural born Americans that were not seeking management positions, or close to their retirement benefits kicking in and replacing them with immigrant workers. Go into the South Florida Publix's and you will see what she was talking about. All the cashiers, stock clerks and truck drivers are immigrants from either the Caribbean Islands or south America, while the managers are Whites born from wealthy homes. And the restaurant business is not looking good either. Pretty much all of cooks, many of the wait staff and bartenders are immigrants. I have a white male American Italian friend who was also fired from Publix and had his job replaced by Haitians, and then he was working at several restaurants and lost those to Hispanic workers...... The Wealthy White class has waged a war on hard working White Middle and Poor class. I guess they can't forgive us for taking away their slaves back in the civil war, so now they are finding a new way to punish us. Charge us with high taxes so they can import low wage workers at slave wages, and then we have to pick up their welfare tabs so they can remain in the US.
I'm a contractor too and I live in Cali and I agree.i worked in the hot sun side by side for 20 years.and I think there great people but I want to have a secure border
All americans? wait a second, where did you decent from? atleast I can say I'm from Central America. which is probably more american than you. you guys come to another continent and think in your little head that you own it and are more from that land than from the one you originated from, now that right there is hilirious. we all in some form are immigrants so before you judge look in the mirror.
@@beaminup really that's why yall look so native no you killed over 100 million natives moved them down until they started to claim to be Mexican and were protected by the church the alamo was build before the independence of America mexicans look native because we are we abolished slavery that's why even black Mexican look Mexican and yall are still wht racist killing everybody so come on while the whole world is waching and your now the victim bring it greengo were ready
oh yeah? Irrefutable?!? How is this (cut and paste, again for another ignorant person) The REAL problem is with the policies of the democratic party, not the immigration laws. Firstly, take minimum wage, guess what? By implementing minimum wage laws, everyone's rent goes up - even for your illegal immigrant employees working "under the table". The price of everything else, like food and utilities go up. Then your taxes go up to pay for building affordable housing. These increased taxes always leads to people moving out of the city to more affordable places, which leads to taxes going up even more for those who stay in the city... Then there's the fatherless epidemic in our communities which would not be the huge problem that it currently is if the democratic based social programs to "help" single parent homes didn't exist. That increases your taxes even more. Statistics show that crimes go up as single parent households goes up, so guess what? More taxes you pay to police them. With fathers, these kids would be raised better, and then instead of joining gangs in your city, they'd be part of the work force that you'd be hiring, and again, with the proper upbringing of a two parent household, they'd do a good honest job and not steal your tools. You'd be paying legal citizens the same amount that you pay the ILLEGAL immigrants AND you'd be paying less taxes. The illegal immigrants don't steal your tools and are such "great workers" because you have them over a barrel with the threat of deportation. I could go on, but I think I made my point.
Thanks for pointing out what a lot of us against illegal immigration know. My husband is also a painter by trade and he also deals with the same issues.
This guy is articulate, intelligent and makes a strong argument. Too bad that this rational view will have him labeled as a racist. That's satirical but also not, he said the word respect a dozen times, yet where will the respect he gives be at for him?
Blue Collar Logic I did and I am glad to hear that. The media has forgotten that there is 46 million people like me who are registered to vote but didn't last election as ironically being in the center with the ability to see through bull larky is now somehow a bad thing. Been binge watching all morning and enjoying. Do you have a Patreon?
My brother and I are in the same boat. Painting since 87, no employees. We do it all from start to finish. I never see any young guys even coming up when I'm at the paint store.
I know. In the eighties it was a bunch of young white contractors and a lot of older white contractors - passing on the tips and tricks. Now you can't get hired in a paint store unless you speak Spanish.
Nailed it! My experience working alongside Hispanics has been much the same. Completely agree with sealing our border and controlling the influx into our country the right way. This is not a racial issue but one of common sense.
Greetings. I so appreciate your perspective, insight, and speaking truth to power. Thank you. - Farm kid, college grad x2, teacher, handyman, finish carpenter.
Awesome presentation! I was a general contractor in L.A. and did a one man band thing as well and had a hard time getting work because the illegals would constantly underbid me. How I DID get a lot of work was getting calls from the same people that thought I was too expensive initially to come back and FIX the work the cheap labor did! In the end, they found you get what you pay for. And when I got the call-back, my price went WAY up!
I am MexicanAmerican and you are telling the the truth. At fist i thought this guy (your video) is going to laced with a racist rant talking smack, but i was wrong. Thank you for posting this.
I to am American Mexican. 59 years old, witnessed our American culture change ever so slowly in Phoenix, Arizona. The change is devastating. We as Americans have allowed men and women to be voted into positions whom benefited personally instead of looking after their people. The love of money and power for personal gain has ruined our traditions, family structures, faith in the documents our countrymen have died for, public civility, respect for fellow Americans. Until we fight to win back the hearts of our youth and instill the value of true freedom, integrity, free to speak openly of our love of God.....we must begin to relentlessly take back what is ours as American citizens, take back our schools.....be examples once again....another revolution if we must....our country is worthy of another.....
Margaret Norvell it’s baffling how you make such remarks about us being the only ethnic group that refuses to speak English when we’re clearly communicating here in non other language THAN English lol
Eddie B. "German Nazi Killers" is a far worse label than "lazy." And actually, your comment that "you people" are "always seeking to label people of color" is also much more insulting. Don't tell me that Mexicans don't have negative labels and racist ideas. You just proved they did. And the reason for the idea that you are unwilling to learn English is because no other ethnic group coming to the US has required so many directions and signs to be in their language. They haven't required so many help and support lines to be in their language when calling a company, legal or emergency services. That is why SOME think that. Personally, I do not think Mexicans are lazy. I think they don't learn English because they are going back and forth over the border and don't have a real commitment to learn. Also, I think the ones that are living here illegally don't want to attend lessons because they don't want to draw suspicion. It could also be that some of the illegals are just disrespectful, as well, and don't care. I mean, crossing a border illegally would indicate a disrespectful personality in an individual, wouldn't it?
katty kleo ( hilarious 😂 ) crossing a border illegally might indicate a little more than a mere disrespectful personality ! How about Evading Starvation ? Political asylum ... ( trying to stay alive , evading being murdered ) just to mention a few. What about your fore fathers coming over here on The Mayflower w/ Bible in hand and shortly thereafter betraying the American Indain by systematic murder & Starvation ?? You have a polite answer for that ?
I started framing in 1989 framing for my stepdad who was the contractor for around 50 years . By the time I was 18 in 1993 was making about 17 bucks an hour . By 2006 I was making $34 an hour and had my own crews . By 2008 there are no crews framing except for Mexicans , because they were able to bid everything so cheaply that I couldn't touch it . Thank you to everybody who was part of ruining millions of hard-working people's lives . Framing was a job that I did want and did enjoy . Now I do remodels and rehabs and investor properties , I don't make nearly as much as I did but I still eek out a living . now you just get the morons out there that think that everything should be done in a day and you take out cabinets with sledgehammers . Thanks HGTV .
Yea, I get very irritated when home owners can't understand why I am taking so long. I've learned that if you push your body at 110% all of the time it's like redlining your car engine all of the time. Somethings going to break soon. You have to pace yourself a little bit. My last customer would jab at me with little jokes about how I need to take a day off after moving 80lb bags of concrete and 5" to 10" river rocks by myself at the age of 45. And, this woman has probably never lifted a bag of concrete in her whole life. Jeesh. The nerve of some people. Every time you hire an illegal mexican you are hurting the economy and taking money away from a deserving american family.
Let them buy a fix and flip and see how easy it is, most people lose money. HGTV leaves out all the drudgery. And, forget about doing it the right way and getting it perfect. The people that buy those houses end up fixing all the problems, but they get the granite counter tops!
Dr website I hear you I see it 5days a week from painting framing the stucco landscape plumbing electrician illegals 90 percent empty beer bottles it's all hear
I framed and trimmed for thirty years and by the mid 2000's I was just working at repairing all the major mistakes done by the low skilled workers. Walls out of plumb three and a half inches, rooms without doorways to get in, doors hung backwards, toilets in the middle of hallways, rooms a foot and a half out of square, entire sets of trusses set in the wrong order......the list goes on.
Anglo house painter in South Texas here. Work by myself and have had the exact same thoughts! So well said! Hard to bid a job competitively when we are paying taxes and insurance while illegals are not. Thank you for this!
I have a relative who grew up in the midwest and did chores around the house as children. She married an architect and moved to LA. They raised 5 kids - none of them did chores because their mom hired illegals to do all the work. She ruined her own kids out of love. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The reason that axiom has been around for so long, is because it is true.
The point is immigration depresses wages. While the wealthier get most of the benefit of reduced costs, cheap nannies and gardeners, and profit from low wage workers, the lower end of society pays most of the costs. One of those costs is wage stagnation like he talks about. Other costs are crime, long waits at the emergency room, increased costs for education, greater competition for social services, social fragmentation, and lack of social trust - all disproportionately paid by citizens who are poor and middle class. The rich keep illegal immigration going because they profit. Most other people lose.
I disagree with your point here, John. I'm on your side, but hear me out - So long as the worker is volunteering to work for the agreed wage, the lower that wages are, the lower the cost of the product. Everybody wins. Ideally a job could be done by a machine with almost no labor cost, like the combine harvester which does the work of 1000 men. The problem is that illegals (the plethora of other problems that being "illegal" entails aside) don't pay taxes and frequently take handouts. This gives them an unfair advantage where they can do their jobs at an unreasonably low wage.
This guy nailed it. I immigrated ( legally) to nyc in 1998 from Eastern Europe ( Albania)and got a part time job in a catering hall. They started me at $65 a shift and in a year I was getting paid $75. On the books ,most guys working there were Italian Americans . I recently went back to that same catering hall and asked for a job .20 years later they pay $45 a shift and in cash since all their workers now are undocumented immigrants ( my good friend manages the place that’s how I know this ). I went back expecting to make at least $100 a shift now since 20 years had past and I’m paying $1900 a month in rent instead of $600 I was 20 years ago. When I worked there I was only one of two immigrants everyone else was American born . I also remember Americans washing dishes and cleaning the bathrooms as well .So it’s not that Americans won’t do certain jobs it’s that illegal immigrants are willing to do those jobs for a lot less out of desperation. They also live 20 people in a one bedroom apt out of desperation therefore can afford to work for less. That’s what illegal immigration is doing.
its sad how these people are oppressing us. And that's really it, illegal immigrants are waging a war against legal Americans not only in our wages, but demographics-wise. They want to "re-take" the southwest because they believe it's still "theirs".
Tell me what about this video you disagree with. I love people like you who insult people who disagree with them but never have facts. He doesn't have issues with the illegals themselves. He just has issues with illegals freezing his wages and the crappy work ethic of Americans, because we don't "need to" because of the inflow if cheap illegal labor. And although he contradicts our president who famously says "they're not sending their best people" He feels some of the really good people that come here illegally would be an asset to their broken countries and when these "good people" come here those broken companies remain broken. But Trump hating liberals like you (I'm just guessing, don't know for sure) can't figure it out.
The problem isn't illegal immigration it's illegal hiring. Why aren't the employers who hire them getting arrested and getting fined or going to jail, since they're breaking the law by hiring undocumented workers? We Americans want our low prices and then whine when companies drive labor costs down by hiring undocumented workers or sending the work overseas where it can be done for a fraction of the cost.
JM S- You get it! Whether or not everyone agrees on a wall, we all know there has to be more to it, and it's about protecting jobs and pay levels, not the few criminals that get in. If Trump pushed the enforcement of existing laws and the protections already in place, it would take a lot of the political rhetoric and divisiveness out of the current morass.
@UCDcr32tdlOiXfEes0lcwnqw- sorry but, immigration and minimum wage are two different and separate issues. That's the consequences of entering and working in the US illegally, they have absolutely no workplace protections against pay, safety, or hours.
Most Americans want the minimum wage to keep up with the cost living. And the employers who hire illegals for lower wages and not being penalized for it is a huge part of the problem.
Simply because California protects illegal immigrants and will not arrest me even if I go to police stating that I hired illegal immigrants. Actually where should i go and whom should i tell to get arrested?
Hello Dave. Somehow I came upon a video or two by you. You are an excellent speaker. And you have good common sense. This particular subject (illegal immigration) you have presented without bias or prejudice. Your facts can’t be disputed. I’m glad to have discovered you. Please keep up the good work.
This is the 1st time I've heard a rational, coherent thought on illegal immigration. Thought provoking from someone actually 'on the ground' . Dave thank you , you've got my attention.
I am in the Custon Home Design/Build industry in the Houston area and I can vouch for everything you said on your video. there are 4 million people living in the greater Houston area and it has been estimated that around 700,000 to 900,000 are illegal immigrants, for the most part they are honest, hard working people. on the negative side a large percentage of them do not obey the traffic laws and if you are involved in an accident with one of them it is almost guaranteed they will flee, due to the fact that they do not have a drivers license or insurance, and they fear being jailed or sent back to Mexico. I have experienced this first hand 3 times in the last 15 years. The answer to this problem is to seal the border and have an orderly immigration system in place.
As a native Californian and a SoCal house painter age 58 it was downright weird to agree with every single WORD of a public TH-cam video. From one Dave to another, you pegged it.
Thanks, Brother. Sure are a lot of people on this thread with NONE of our experiences, who nevertheless want me to know that I'm either wrong about everything, of some kind of fake. Good to meet you. Keep in touch.
Great video! I agree with you 100%. My wife and I have both worked with Hispanics for over 30 years. They are great and hardworking people. But we need ALL immigrants to come through the front door. Why is that so hard for some people to understand?
I'm a licensed solar tech. When I first got into solar in 2007 pay rates were about 25 an hour starting. After a few more years I was making 30. But then it happened, companies brought in illegals and the tech lay offs began. First company I worked for 4 years. After that rates dropped like a stone in a lake. I couldn't stay in a company for more then 3 or 4 months. 2 more years passed by and I was making 16 an hour. By the time I left starting wage was at 11/12 and not a single person on my crew spoke any english, and none of these people are licensed solar techs. They only know what to do for that day by following orders. Now I work with bees, and am highly allergic, but my family needs me and my support and I'll do anything in my power for them. We need this country fixed asap.
Speaking to the choir here. I'm 40 years old and have been working along side Hispanic immigrants for the last nearly 20 years of my construction experience. It is absolutely not Americans won't do the job. It is that Americans won't do the job for 12 dollars an hour, and thanks to the influx of workers that's what we look at. You are absolutely right, I've seen it personally and worked with the guys doing it for years, you have 5 to 10 illegals living in a cheap place paying 200 a month each for rent and bills combined so they are fine with making 12 an hour, they are not trying to support a family in America at those wages. They are supporting a family in Mexico for that. 12 dollars an hour is a super good money when your family, wife and 2 or 3 kids costs less than 3 dollars a day at home in Mexico. I can also say that I highly respect some of the guys ive worked with through the years. More than 1 sent all his extra money home to Mexico, then after 6 to 8 years in America, they went home as well, at which point they opened businesses in Mexico. These people are pretty well welcome to me, other than the undeniable suppression of wages they inevitably cause.
Just curious. If you left a savings jar of coins out and every illegal you “respect” took out just one coin a day until the jar was complete empty, and then they suddenly disappeared, would you still “respect” them then?
I like this video a lot makes a lot of sense. there are times where I drive by brand new housing construction sites on a Saturday and these unmarked white extended Vans with pull up and all these South Americans would jump out and they be doing carpentry work roofing siding masonry work sheetrock at said to myself wait a minute this stuff is what we can do this is what we want to do and the Democrats and Republicans keep on pushing that narrative that Americans don't want to do this kind of work. the politicians are just lying through their teeth they will never have to compete with a South American for a job they won't have to worry about them taking their job just like news reporters at CNN and MSNBC they don't have to worry about Mexicans coming in and taking a reporter's job at a cheaper rate it won't happen so they're really very generous with giving our jobs away when it don't affect them.
Harry Hathaway It's always the same lie. They do the jobs we won't. I have been a plumber for 13 years. If you see bow a lot of these people live its crazy. I have been to apartments full of Mexicans I'm talking a 1 bedroom apartment with 8 Mexicans living in it. If i try that I would be kicked out immediately. We compete with the fact most of them don't pay taxes most of them get medical care without a problem. Not to mention if they are making low ball $400 a week and Sending that money most of that money back to Mexico where that $400 value is more like $1600 most Americans would gladly work for that kind of money
I wish more republicans express their ideas in this fashion. You are able to convey your message without being condescending, You were thoughtful, concise, reasonable and most important impartial (racially). This type of dialogue is what can help people come towards the center and allow extreme left and rightist to remain out on the fringes in small insignificant groups. I really do appreciate what you have done with this dialogue. Thank you.
Thank you, Odell. I really am trying to have a reasonable discussion of the issues. People are so into winning these days that they won't give an inch.
Mmmm, no. If people did that, religitards would quit demanding creationism be taught in schools and would demand LOGIC be taught in schools. That's never going to happen. Nice try though.
@@TasteMyStinkholeAndLikeIt Wow so you believe you evolved from a some rocks that collided in space and then somehow some kind of fish creature just formed grew legs, walked out of the water and somewhere along the line turned into a monkey?

@Kari Manning No dipshit, I believe that my material mother and material father having sex in a material universe managed to procreate from nothing an immaterial and eternal soul in a different realm and attach that soul to my material body in this realm. Where's my 'stupid' prize. And my comment was addressing Linda's comment about thinking logically. Obviously something you know nothing about.
I've been a painter for 30 years. I started at the age of 14 doing closets' and cupboards with oils.By the time I was 18 I could cut a strait line with both hands and made $18 an hour cash in Saint John N.B. of all places,doing repaints for a rich landlord. I'm 44 now and unless I go back with the union my starting wage working for a private company would be about the same.Regardless of having 30 years exp. Our hourly rate hasn't changed in years. Politicians here in Canada give themselves a raise every year. Love yer show and keep up the fine work!
@@1trucxhondamov589 There's an estimate of 500 illegals a day coming up from the states. Trudope just asked for 143 million for hotels while the RCMP act as bellhops.
You would not believe what some of the public schools are putting out! So yes, he IS well-spoken. But it's not just that. He has the voice of a radio broadcaster as well, and could probably do well there....at $50 an hour doing voiceovers instead of $25 an hour painting houses.
Yup, down in south florida they forced my husband out of a 22 year plumbing business. You just cannot compete with them when they don't have the overhead like taxes, licenses, permits and insurance.
Robert Gardea That RACIST attitude, and the uneducated criminal mentality, is EXACTLY Why WE ARE GOING TO REMOVE ALL ILLEGALS.. 👍🏃🏃🏃🏃🌵🏃🏃 head south paco...
Sounds like the real problem is that we allow businesses and owners of them to get away with hiring illegals to pay half wages. Seems like we should go after the scumbags who are avoiding paying real wages to people who have social security numbers. No need for a wall if we brutally enforce the laws that these employers are getting away with not obeying. I imagine after a few of these guys lose their homes and businesses your problem will be solved. Makes a lot more sense punishing a couple rich people then going after thousands of poor ones. After that you have no more undocumented jobs and these people have no reason to be here anymore.
You all act as though those illegals don’t know what they are doing and are blameless....they are not and they know exactly what they are doing, takes a real idiot to not see how intentional this is, they talk about “reconquista” out in the open public here in Colorado, it’s not just the business owners
As a Mexican I have to agree whit you and also I would like yo congratulate you for exposing your arguments intelligently and whitout racism ( by the way I love in México I am not inmigrant lol )
@@elouise5593 Thank you, most of the people that emigrate to USA are farmers and people whit a very low socioechonomical level, many mexicans like me earn enough money and have a good Quality of life and we don't need to leave our country 😊
Your videos always remind me there are still hard working people with common sense out there, after a day of bearing the opposite. Thank you for the beautiful content!
Exactly.
I am an immigrant who satrted in this country painting houses. My wife is an immigrant as well and we are supporting legal, controlled, common sense immigration.
After 31 years in construction, I could not agree more with every last word.
Ironically, the number of maga maggots in construction and agriculture who employ illegal aliens while shouting "build the wall" seem oblivious to their own hypocrisy and abject stupidity. Luckily they have the support of an orange orangutan in the white's only plantation house in D.C. TrumptyDumbty's buddies in Agriculture, Contruction, and Hospitality employ countless illegals and give a big middle finger to the rest of white america, and the pig faced, tiny hands, mushroom dick orangutan stands hand-in-hand with employers of illegals and laughs his ass off at the idiocy of his supporters.

@@TasteMyStinkholeAndLikeIt Wow your online name fits your comment and your oblivious views perfectly
I started framing houses in 1991 at the age of 16 earning $8 an hour, I worked hard and loved what I did, by the age of 23 I was earning $24 an hour, I had built my career and started building my family, I was married by 25 and a father by 27, I was raised to live within my means, to save money for the future and emergencies, life seemed great! But by the time I hit 30 residential framing had become so saturated with South Americans doing the work so cheaply that I couldn't find a job for more than $16 an hour, so I left what I loved and started over and worked my way from the bottom to become a licensed plumber. It's good work but not what I wanted to do, Being a plumber was not MY American Dream. MY American Dream, like many other legal Americans, was sold for votes by politicians with no accountability. Now at the age of 43, I think the worst part of all of this is that the cost of the homes being built doesn't reflect the price we pay for that home. Residential home builders are getting rich off of cheap illegal workers.
Bingo. The profiteers just love cheap labor.
Danny M sounds like you got fucked by our shitty capitalistic system, not illegals trying to get by.
Shut up idiot troll@@jreddingr
I got four years on you brother and I'm right in the same place - if anyone at the pub tried to screw me over like our elected officials do there would be trouble. This sure isn't the country I was raised to believe in.
Not to mention the quality of homes. I re-did base boards in our old house, not a straight wall to be seen. Cheap, fast labor.
For the 3.3k people that didn't get it, try replaying the video at .25 speed, the logic may seep in.

Being a White licensed plumber in Arizona its no different my friend. Its unbelievable the non-licensed people that work for cash and you can't beat their price. And i never have done work for anyone i suspected to be illegal.We need to seal the border, talk to the rhino Republicans
Marquee Mark I love how you just had to mention that you were white. As if it is at all relevant to this discussion (it’s not).
Joshua Redding, when a black man describes himself, do you question why? Many times I see people of color post their race. Its not okay for a White man to do so?
Marquee Mark your race had nothing to do with the conversation but you just HAD to interject it into the discussion. As though being a white male somehow makes your opinion special and an important facet of the conversation.
Jason Clark “White is the new negro”? Wow. Honestly, sounds to me like the Republican wet dream. Deregulation of all anti discrimination standards. That’s if I was actually entertaining you.
Jason Clark, I don't believe Mexicans, Chicano's or illegals run many Licensed companies in the construction industry. Being in the industry 25 years in Arizona I have not met many

My husband is a contractor and he hired four Latinos with green cards to do some work for him. They showed up at our house at 10 pm after they got their first paychecks angry and upset that payroll had taken their taxes out. They wanted my husband to reimburse them in cash for the taxes because "we don't pay taxes". My husband told them if they worked for him they did. They left, broke into the company's equipment shed, stole some stuff and disappeared. I was glad they were gone because they scared me to death.
Debbie Roberts call ICE on them
Devin Peirce
My husband called the police on the theft but they had disappeared. Not that the police even looked. As for ICE they had green cards so we didn't think of it. The green cards were probably forged but we couldn't tell if they were fake or not.
That's what your stupid asses get for hiring non-whites. Get it?
Robert Gardea ew your mouth is Fowl !!!!!!
I've hired many whites...they can't handle landscaping in Florida.
Last maybe 4 hrs.
As a legal immigrant, I've spent my whole life being careful not to break any laws. People come here and break the laws right from the get go and they get rewarded for it. It's shameful.
My father is a retired house painter from NYC and this guy speaks the truth.
WOW!
Great video.
The country thanks you for 1) coming legally, and 2) being respectful of the laws. It shows someone raised you right, friend.
Here’s my context-I was born in Florida 13 weeks before JFK was shot. Parents moved around the Southeast US when I was young, but most of my school years were in Arkansas. Moved with 2nd wife and kids to Oklahoma in ‘99 back when Walmart Neighborhood Markets were new-ish. (OKCity was gonna be their area to get that store model out of its infancy and I thought management was for me.) Today is the Sunday after Trump was convicted. I’ve been to jail a time or three, for the sole purpose of visiting a friend’s brother lol.
Just scrolling through the comments and wanted to thank you for what you and your family have added to us. (Us includes you, me, your people and mine.)
I get your point but as a master carpenter, I'm tired of those decent people taking food out of my mouth and my kids and grandkids mouths
But you would probably cross a border to feed your kids. I'm not mad at poor people trying to make living. I'm mad at our politicians who have been sending mixed messages for fifty years. Finally we have a guy who wants to seal the border. It's possible to respect people and still not want them to immigrate illegally. Right?
no. I'm native American. we are few. we are not heard. And believe me when I say we know what being overrun by immigrants is. ask a native American, if you can find one.
Conner Martin you mist be immortal if you know how it feels. me too i remember when i was a neanderthal and the homosapiens took over it sucked.

Pedro pepe you are not native. You are the youngest race on earth.
This Guy is 100%
1000% correct
They learn the trade and then go behind your back to take your customers. It’s actually common practice and how they start they’re own business on the side. You know side jobs offering your customers a better price. Many small businesses have gone do to this practice. Here in California illegals are being given licenses to start their own businesses but no one really specifies if they pay taxes.

It wasn't illegal immigration. They had no laws against immigration and technically it was migration- a different legal status.

Right. The $7/hr jobs that used to pay $20.
its to destroy America its by design

Nah

@Randolph Ross survive via " corporate welfare" which are food stamps, Medicaid etc. Walmart gives employees applications for welfare with their paperwork. 2% increase in wages the last 40 years but a 4,000+% increase in 100 millionaire + , and the "middle class is paying for it all, only most don't notice it too much because the cheap goods coming out of China have yet to catch enough jobless to afford them.

@@Chitown18 of course it doesn't stop you from getting the job. But it DOES stunt you from getting paid much more and have opportunity for advancement

I'm no fan of Trump but people who say that immigration is a positive for everyone or protecting our borders is inherently racist need to pull their heads out of their asses. This guy makes a great point.
George Lucas is a Liberal married to a Black woman...the rebels we're never the good guys. They are the resistance
I agree
Trump is best president in my life time a fact walk over talk Hollywood is satanic a fact
George Lucas Well anybody who isn’t a fan of a President (first one in last 4 administrations) who cares about the future of this nation’s workers at all levels & then actually translates that caring into policies is a mystery to me. You are right about the racist term. Conservatives long ago it was what folks used when they lack intellectual argument.
t pw Yes. He treats them like the lawbreakers they are - which is right. You and I do not get to break laws willy nilly without consequence.
I have worked around whom I assumed were illegals and they are very respectful people and have not had many problems with them. With that being said. I have been an industrial electricians for 15 years now. Every jobsite I work on now is approximately 50% illegal immigrants. The wages in my industry have not moved and in some cases actually fallen since I started and I’m 100% convinced it’s because of the illegal workers taking jobs at half the price. Not only are they taking our jobs but on top of this a lot of them don’t pay taxes and then send 75% of their money to their home country and that money is not put back into the system. This is a huge problem for the US economy . I think if we don’t stop this current situation it will inevitably crash our economy.
"You can print more money" - democrats
~ Of course you are correct . Those of us in the southwest have seen this happening since the late 1970s
THAT is what people don’t bother to add! They may have jobs and make money in the country they invade... but they send the majority of that money home!!! They are a life-sucking plague wherever they go. They need to stay put in their own countries!
Absolutely what has happened. The ‘intellectual elite’ have a vested interest in keeping the flow of illegal immigrants. It’s for the cheap labor. The country was built on it. Until the labor unions stepped in and now the govt and it’s corporate lobbyists have eliminated the power of labor unions. So now, only govt unions have any power. The trades are too good a industry to let them go out like this. A lot of men and women worked hard to build America. We desperately need skilled tradespeople to rebuild American infrastructure. However, not too sure the next generation of American youth wants that kind of hard work. And that is a huge failure on our society at large. Ive been in the construction industry for 16 years in California.
I too have had illegal coworkers. Can't really blame them for the red carpet our establishment Congress rolled out for them. The incentives or leaders give them are just too great. And everyone is fooled by their immigration "crackdown" TALK, which oddly, never really materialises. The mainstream media never really points out how our weasel officials keep promising to close the borde but vote otherwise.... Either way, theyre criminal demographics are probably similar to ours, which means, we have more than enough!!
You forgot many get food stamps, they ALL get free education, free medical, housing sometimes and other benefits as well, especially in California, Washington, Minnesota, Illinois, New York etc. I've talked in detail with many of illegals and learned they have it down pat. Things like getting drivers license in Washington and New Mexico for over 20 years! That's where they'd all rush to years before other states offered false voting identification. I mean drivers licenses.....nothing against the non criminals. They're practically being begged to come here. Can't blame them, it's our corrupt media and politicians stearing our sheeple, non- critical thinking voters to keep voting for the establishment.... All told, if illegals make 30k/yr, for most, after their first 6 months figuring out the system, it's the equivalent of making 50k/yr. And the reverse for an actual u.s. citizen who's paying their way. ........ Tell me this, if Mega millionaires and Billionaires increased hundreds fold since the 80's but wages haven't even kept up with inflation, about 2%, where did they get all that money? Hmm. Any critical thinkers reject CNBC/ CNN/Fox's synopsis that the Facebook's and the Ubers "did it"? Riiight. Love how the republicans stand up for the ultra wealthy because "it's the American way" and won't be pragmatic about the cause and effect of illegal labor for fear of sounding like a Democrat. MEANWHILE Democrats are just as dogmatic and exploitative as Republicans, if not MORESO!... Been to Microsoft, Amazon or many other tech campuses? You'll think your in India. The corporations have been abusing the worker visa laws for decades, virtually enslaving foreign workers on a throw away rotational bases while American techies are passed by. Everyone from At&t to Disneyland have been doing this slave/purge legal corruption for decades yet you barely hear about it in the news. Hmmm. It's obviously all well planned if you look at the law changes involved. But again, no where near the news coverage the Kardashians get... The sheeple just continue to ignore the facts. That it's the ESTABLISHMENT of both parties that are corrupt. The rest is smoke and mirrors. Politicians like McCain get reinstated every election despite not doing what they said they would. Convenient excuses abound for decades.......No, it's cheap labor via artificially suppressed wages screwing us all. Even Mexicans..... Imagine what a wonderful place Mexico would be if most of those ambitious hard workers would stay in their country to revolutionise and fix the country? If the right and left of America (especially the chamber of commerce) would stop encouraging the raping of our jobs/incomes, we could help their people overthrow their real leader, Carlos Slim, and their other Oligarchs but he's paying off too many of our politicians and media as it is now.....The saddest part is all the sick and elderly left alone so their family could "flee the hardships" of their country. Then again, America created the crisis in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras and Venezuela too. Our " interventionist" war monger establishment leaders insist on seeing up every country on the planet to make money via the military industrial complex. See Tom Cruise's recent movie American Made for a great recreation of a piece of that..... Oh yeah, the " wall" is silly to even be a debate, obviously necessary, but not even half the source of illegals :
1) 60% of illegals are VISA OVERSTAYS and take planes l, trains, and automobiles. Laws have been passed to track them and send them warning letters and fines etc. But, for 30+years since it was passed its been deemed "too complicated" to enforce. Ha! Lol, right. 2) how many people are being hurt instead of helped by people leaving? They are capable of revolution and civil war as we and many other countries have done 3) the "wall" was passed during Bill Clinton's Presidency but didn't get enough funding and some Rhino Texan got it thrown out somehow in the early 2,000s but it's hardly mentioned ever 4). a sovereign nation requires borders to be sovereign. Just the potential for criminals and terrorists alone is more than reason enough for any sane, critical thinker. Add to it, a potential calamity like Mexico cities volcano causing 10 million people to rush or border in a week and it's obviously a must..... Dems want votes and cheap labor, Rhinos want cheap labor and Dems to rule. Eisenhower warned us of this. ...Ross Perot couldn't get it done, our only real hope is a smart independent like Rand Paul.
My husband works as an electrician and he constantly loses jobs because of the illegals. He is told he works too hard or expects too much ie respect and a decent wage. It is very frustrating and most of the time their attitude sucks. Worse are the illegals who “own” businesses. I say the only way it will change is if we start calling ICE and let the chips fall where they may!
Q Vet here in California, are hands are tied concerning ICE. This very wicked governor we have made the state a sanctuary state and has told illegals to come in and we will let them vote, use our benefits, go to our schools, etc. Hopefully, next election, we can turn this state red and get these people out of our state! They're everywhere and aggressive and even threatening. Illegals!

@@giovannijoseph9580 Wow are you here illegally or just asleep at the wheel?
I got my 1st job back in 1968 working part time for a house remodeling company in Houston. The man I worked for would buy old houses and would repair them and resell sell them for a profit. Today we would call this "house flipping" and there are many shows now on TV about people doing this. Back in 68 in Houston many different people worked for my boss. The man who owned and ran the company was a retired navy veteran (who was a Hellcat pilot that flew off the Yorktown durning the battle of Midway) and he hired all races. We had about a 50/50 split between white and hispanic employees and the number varied according to work that needed to be done. Most of the plumbers and electricians were white and the majority of the painters and roofers were hispanic. I never knew or even though about it till today. The electricians and plumbers needed to be licensed to do many of the jobs and the painters and roofers did not. My boss didn't question whether you were here illegal or not as long as you showed up for work and got the job done. We were all paid in cash at the end of the week which was great. Everyone got along and we didn't have any problems at work because anyone who didn't do his work or caused problems didn't get a call back for the next job. Funny how things were simple back in the 60s than they are today.
As an American Veteran (who happens to have Mexican parents), I completely agree with you. Seal the borders, protect our citizens, and encourage LEGAL immigration. It was refreshing to hear a voice from the "silent majority" rather than the noisy extreme left or right we are accustomed to hearing.
Thank you, A. Cruz.
A. Cruz "Legal" immigration should be completely destroyed too. America does NOT need any more "migrants" from anywhere that isn't called "Europe".

They already ARE restricting Asians from US colleges.
Are they really? Amazing how much action gets done when the elites start to suffer.
Unfortunately, they're still not only accepting undocumented students into college, they're also giving them Federal Financial Aid. So, not only are they going to be doing all the "undesirable" (read; manual labor), they're also going to be getting the jobs that require degrees. Also, because so many of the potential clientele are unable to speak English, bilingual workers will get hired before legal citizens... All of this while housing & food costs increase, due to supply & demand...
Carol McLN good !!! Time to deport illegals and restrict them
Actually, they are restricting Asians, born in the USA btw, in college not because they are stealing the white collar jobs which they don't. They deserve those jobs with the kind of brains they have. Asians and whites are restricted because of affirmative action in college and universities whereby slots are given to blacks and Hispanics despite scoring a lot lower than Asians. However, Asians can still go to other colleges that will take them in. It is just that the Ivy Leagues will bar other high-performing Asians from entering their universities to fill the quota for other minorities. I guess, when it comes to academics, Asians are not seen as minorities.

Keep making these GREAT, TRUTHFUL videos. Majority of Americans are afraid to speak up like you (and I) in fear of media and social backlash.
I really do not care how polite they are. If they are illegal, they have broken the law, and are now criminals. If they wanted to become citizens, they would have. We have, in our country, BUSINESS owners, who are STILL illegals after living here for over 30 years. They have had 30 years to become a citizen, yet they CHOOSE not to. This should not be tolerated no matter how productive they are.

Well, no..... Door is open, but to those who set a path to become legal citizens only. Closed to all others yes.
Most illegal immigrants do not have a path to citizenship. So they did not choose not to they literally can't.

My best to you both Anna! (Dave Morrison)
AOM - you make some half-truth points that should be clarified. #1 The Mexicans in Socal and other states/areas, are/were not indeginous to that land, they came from other parts of Mexico, unless they are Yaqui, Odham, and a few others. #2 Mexico stole that land from Naitives also, they were occupiers. #3 most or at least a very high %age of the Mexicans that are now Americans, were anchor babies and should not have been here.
Your second paragraph is great and I agree with all of it!
AOM - All true! But there are also tons of Hispanic, black and even Oriental and Asians who are anti-Caucasian snowflake socialist anti-American traitors as well!
PS my husband and I are both immigrants!
Oriental reffers to a region. It is broadly and widely understood as such. Its more accurate than Asia because Orientals do not have anything in common with Indians or Sri-Lankan's or Afghanis, etc. Asia is a big place.
Mexico was not a country when there were just tribes. But after it did get created, they kicked off many of Naitive tribes and stole their lands and resourses. In Chihuahua now, tons of Naitives are jumping of cliffs and bridges, because the Mexican govt does not have reservations where naitives can have their own resourses and make a living. Mexican (that area, before it was Mexico) tribes have been killing and enslaving eachother for thousands of years.
Its very important for this kind of story to be told. Sharing stories like this, rationally laying out the facts, this is the only way forward
@Amed Tajan i think that can be said for everyone on the extremes of the political spectrum. What I particularly appreciate about this video is the rational discourse. It sure beats the hell out of the primary school-level polemic that has been going on these last few years
This guy is smarter than any Politician I have heard speak
Thanks, Brother.
You must be in commiefornia
it would seem that way to ignorant, naive and uneducated people. Ever heard of civics? (cut and paste again....)
The REAL problem is with the policies of the democratic party, not the immigration laws.
Firstly, take minimum wage, guess what? By implementing minimum wage laws, everyone's rent goes up - even for your illegal immigrant employees working "under the table". The price of everything else, like food and utilities go up. Then your taxes go up to pay for building affordable housing. These increased taxes always leads to people moving out of the city to more affordable places, which leads to taxes going up even more for those who stay in the city... Then there's the fatherless epidemic in our communities which would not be the huge problem that it currently is if the democratic based social programs to "help" single parent homes didn't exist. That increases your taxes even more. Statistics show that crimes go up as single parent households goes up, so guess what? More taxes you pay to police them. With fathers, these kids would be raised better, and then instead of joining gangs in your city, they'd be part of the work force that you'd be hiring, and again, with the proper upbringing of a two parent household, they'd do a good honest job and not steal your tools. You'd be paying legal citizens the same amount that you pay the ILLEGAL immigrants AND you'd be paying less taxes. The illegal immigrants don't steal your tools and are such "great workers" because you have them over a barrel with the threat of deportation. I could go on, but I think I made my point.
Hes actually not, hes complaining about stagnation when hes doing a job that is overpaid already. Clueless
Wow 😮 this is what we in Florida are experiencing also!!!
For the better part of 25 years
I’ve lost job after job because I have to pay insurance and pay taxes so I charge more than my competitors do besides pay for just my family in one house. They come in cycles for 5 years save up money live 6or 8 guys in a household and move back and retire in their own country. How can I ever retire now I lost millions of dollars because of illegal workers who’s going to help me when I need to retire??
Great job on video I couldn’t have said it better !!!!
That's correct sir it's been at least 25 years I'm an electrician and I can't work for anybody else I won't make enough money I have to work for myself
Most of the Mexicans doing that work steal stuff like Air Conditioners when construction is going on. That happened to my house twice down in Florida.
Im a welder/fabricator in florida and not only can i not find a job paying more than $15.00, mexicans and Puerto Ricans have flooded the only jobs that are here to the extent of now having spanish bosses at most fab shops.. I was born here, that SHOULD mean something!
I was expected to help with cooking, cleaning watching my sister and brother at 11. My daughter was expected to do chores now she is in college and doing great working a job and going to school. Little chores never killed any child or husband for that matter. Stop wrapping your children in bubble wrap. Let them live
Right On! Share the video if you want to.
Or husbands lol 😂
Marandia Hinkle It prepares them for life and helps them be appreciative.
Straight talking, no bullshit no hatred just the facts. Great Video.
Bless you
Exactly!!!!!!
The teens have nothing real to do!
Crimonely
It makes me furious!!!!!!!😡
This insanity needs to end!!!!
I love your video!!!!❤️
Excellent!
I hope you can get this message out!
It also takes the love of ones own home “work” away.
Kids need to be watched by their own family
Not cheap immigrants.
Not good for us
Not good for them. Whose watching their kids!?
What a mess....
5th Generation Californian and Builder for 35+ years and could not have described the situation better. A+ Now my two cents: I think one of the simplest solutions would be to tax all money transfers from the US to south of the border. By doing so we would one force documentation of people here as they would be the only ones allowed to make transfers and two decrease the incentive to work for cheap wages as now the money earned would be taxed.
I'm white and was a truck driver and delivered to mostly Hispanic stores throughout Southern California. I really liked my job because every day I got to see my Hispanic friends at all of these stores. I got to learn a lot of Spanish and I helped them with their English. They are a very friendly, hardworking people that will give you the shirt off their back if you need it.
Interesting. Very different prospective than what I read and hear about in Spain. Can you show me a picture of yourself? It would add more proof to you're statement.
TCC
Your comment makes zero sense. High school dropout? What does Spain have to do with his comment? Do you even know where Spain is located on Earth or who the Spanish people are? Wow. You must know nothing about Spain and its history in America. Just wow.
I don't know what you mean about Spain. Why do you need a picture of me? You don't believe me?
Why does my comment make zero sense? I asked for a picture and stated Jdude's experiances are different from what I hear and read about Mexicans in the USA from news in Spain? I'm fairly certain that's what I typed. As for my education, I'm a college graduate. I ought to know where Spain is since I live in Malaga. This might shock your ignorant self, but most Spaniards don't look like Amerindians.
I'm trying to upload a photo of myself into my TH-cam create art but it says the photo is too small. Anyone know what to do?
Ten years ago I was a finish carpenter that did stairs and only stairs...it was one of the last trades in new home construction that the illegal immigrants had not impacted much...for what ever reason that was we made 2 to 5 times as much as even other skilled trades like electricians.
One day a carpenter installing cabinets who spoke decent English comes up to me with an accusatory attitude asking why stair guys were the only ones making great money. So I asked him if he could handle the truth. I told him Ill tell you exactly why but only if you promise not to be mad at me for doing it.He reluctantly agreed and stood there listening while I out lined exactly why he as a cabinet installer working for a company that had zero native born americans working for them was making less then guys doing that exact same job ...a lot less...about half what they were getting 25 years earlier. My reasoning was exactly what this video was about and why I am so anti illegal immigrant....
As I explained you could tell he was getting hot under the collar but im not a little guy so I wasn't worried....
What also has happened is illegals have learned that their wives ,if they tell the social worker that he isn't a part of her life anyone, can get the basic needs of the family like food rent medical and better rates on utilities etc from welfare type programs....so he could even begin to afford to work for 1/4 the buying power that that trade used to have....socialism has chickens coming home to roost every day and this is one big ass rooster barging into the barnyard.
I’ve been telling this for 10 yrs no one wanted to listen I’ve been called racist the whole time. The lies the illegals told and brainwashed Americans that Americans were lazy and didn’t want to do these jobs. Nope they were stolen by illegals immigrants cause they would work for slave wages. And most of the time the dummies that hired them need them to do work over and over cause it’s never done right the first time. And how their women get our tax dollars welfare while these men bring home money and they send the welfare back to their countries. Now blk Americans are seeing it all were calling all of us Native Americans racist I bet they’re feeling in now in the east coast
Go to any Home Depot, Lowe's, or DIY store at opening, there you will see tens to hundreds of "day" workers... legal or illegal, i do not know...but they are there every morning, the hispanic "day" worker...
You're right, the Home Depots in Connecticut is the same way.. You can spot illegals a mile away. they are nervous in public places.. 100's of Illegals sit with their lunch bags on a street corner in Stanford CT. waiting for contractors to just pick them up for cheap day labor... Cops and City officials ignore it..
E-Verify won't help a thing. Employers know they are Illegal, they want to pay low wages.. *Every Employer* has to ask for a Social Security number for tax reasons.. Every American has one. If the Hombre don't have one, He's illegal.. Simple as that.
Looking for work not a handout
Damn this guy should run for President. This is an excellent example of how a politician should react to the situation. With "Logic and Experience"...seems like most if not everyone agrees in the comments section. This was presented well. Thank for the video. Let's stand together and Fight the "Real Enemy"..."Corruption and Greed".
He can be a great help to president Trump.
It's high time!
Great video! All you said TOTALLY resonated with me. I also started doing wallpaper, paint & plaster in the mid 80s here in NYC 15 years total. I worked for multiple contractors on a freelance basis. As more & more illegal immigrants came here I started getting called less & less and was even fired for asking for a raise at one steady gig simply because they had another guy(illegal) they could pay less than what they paid me, who knew how to hang paper, though not close to my level as I had apprenticed with a paperhanger and later also attended the Paperhanging Institute in Fairfield NJ.
Also someone I had worked 10 years for freelance, who was also a "friend" replaced me with an illegal. My wages also were frozen in place. Thinking back I probably should have joined the painters union. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20. Eventually I couldn't make a living so I became a street musician which is a whole other story.
Anyway, thanx & keep up the good "work" 😉
Thanks Maya. I am a musician too. Because apparently I am attracted to jobs that don't pay very well. :-)
Maya Miele initally I missed the sarcasm in your comment and wondered how someone could be soo stupid but then.. The poster of the video took it literal. I was beginning to think that you and him could both be Street musicians and start your own band
Blue Collar Logic you realize her story was one of irony right? You think she was happy to be undercut and driven out of a job to be a street musician? It took me a couple reads to get through the sarcasm but I did and you seem to embrace illegals undercutting jobs.
@Jr Reyes Yes... I attended back in the late 80s. I had apprenticed to a paperhanger for 2 years prior to that, stopped doing trade work for a time to work as a guitar teacher. Wasn't making a decent living at it so decided to go back to trade work but didnt want to go back as a helper. Found out about the Paperhanging Institute in Fairfield NJ. They had a 3 wk. basic course or a 10 week FT pro course which is the one I attended. After that I worked on a freelance basis for various contractors, at times 1 company exclusively and also contracted my own jobs at times. You can find info for the school online.
Well said and I hear nothing offensive in this. I nominate you to write Mr Trumps speeches .Seriously, good video
No, I think Trump is doing better. Because its NOT respectful to steal jobs. And being nice isn't going to make it.
I encourage him to go to work with President Trump!
Trump doesn't give a rats ass about his base only himself period and his starving ego.
hunkydude322 u r an ignoramus
As a Mexican I am offended. There are many logical fallacies presented in this video.
i ( a San Diego painter) seen this just now and will watch at lunch . from experience L.A has a much higher pct of "no habla ingles" due to its sanctuary status
One thing I would like to add to your video. For some odd reason we as a society have chosen to look down on the blue collar working man. Our country needs a attitude adjustment
wildtill9 because of the media. the media always shows the luxury the easy life the fame and people flocked to big cities to find this life. i wonder how many ended up from these as crack addicts on streets.
Nowadays a lots of young people want to be twitch and youtuber millionaire. (they look up to asshats like pewdiepie and jake paul)
Exactly. This is why the people with power don't care about the depressed incomes, and also why Leftists are racist as hell while virtue signalling--they don't see the brown folks mowing their lawns as part of the same group as they are, and it'd be uncomfortable for them if they were. And they look down on whites who are in that other group--clearly something wrong with you if you work with your hands, they assume that means you don't have a brain to work with. Meanwhile most of them produce nothing of any worth: they've got to sneer at the working class, because if the working class were not contemptable, they'd have to admit that what they do is nothing.
We as a society look down on men in general. Blue-collar workers are predominantly men.
It needs a good old fashion boot in the ass.
You work with your hands. You understand how the building trades work. You understand how illegal immigration affects wages. You have a strong work ethic and you perform your work intelligently and ethically. You must be a “deplorable”. - best regards from someone in the same “basket”.
Thanks Jim. Just going out to wash my truck and organize my tools for the week. Good to hit Monday morning with everything in its place.
Jim Ivey a deplorable would be someone that sucks on Trumps teat whenever he says something that’s a straight up lie. A deplorable would be an idiot that has die hard faith in a crooked businessman that was handed a silver spoon from birth and has never had to work with his own hands and feel sweat on his brow.
Shut up slimy troll@@jreddingr
@Joshua Redding and just how many employees do you have? how much of your own money have you donated to the actual poor? didnt think so.
Jason Clark Nice red herring. So why don’t you address a few things about your orange lord and savior?
1st: Why is it magically okay for the Trump organization to hire foreign workers on H1B visas when he consistently has campaigned on hiring American only and making statements about foreigners stealing our jobs? And don’t even suggest that he could not find Americans to take those jobs.
2nd: Why is it magically okay that many of his products are made in China and imported here?
3rd:Why is it magically okay that he did not divest from his business assets, something highly questionable ethically?
(And don’t even try the bullshit excuse that it’s him being a shrewd businessman, it’s called putting your money where your mouth is; he’s a fucking hypocrite.)
I have watched a boat load of your videos, but wow, this one really got me. The sensibility was overwhelming! And a little plus, I have to think it blew AOC's little mind! 🤣 Nice to hear from a real, boots on the ground, kind of guy. Thanks for this and all your work.
That's assuming she has a mind.
@@Kevyogini Lol! She is an elite dense puppet!!
Amen !! I worked with Mexicans in Landscaping and they are the best people in the world in my book . I agree seal the borders and let them go through the legal process .
pACK IT UP ...loL....
I agree.
Green Giant : I never said I liked them enough to live beside them . Alot of them are just here trying to make a living and won't cause any trouble . But then you have some that don't give a rats ass and will be very destructive and don't care. The majority of them are just here to work and provide for there family's . It was the same way in the 1920's n 30's when you have all kinds of immigration going on . You get the good and bad no matter where you go .
@Green Giant lived in primarily Latino neighborhoods for the past 60 yrs, my sister married a Mexican who was about the best man and were married 50 yrs, I worked for a temporary agency and Latinos hands down my best workers, so go ahead and spread Trumps hatred and rhetoric, allot of us know better
@Green Giant hhhmmm wow your are really stupid, bigot? Because I hurt your butt about what I said something about Trump?
I’ve been in construction for 20 years and can barely get work because I won’t work for slave wages, I get work because I’m white and people can understand me, and I do quality work, not so much with Mexican workers, some do very good work but most do subpar work at best.
But it has gotten so bad I’m getting out. Moving to wear I can get English speaking workers and pay is good for me and my employees.
Illegal immigrants and big corporations are destroying this country. No more pride in work or products. That’s what made this country great! Illegal immigration is destroying middle class, big corporations destroying quality products because the board members only care about profit, and why should they their name isn’t on it.
danny mccraw they can charge less because they don’t pay taxes
I'll pay a white guy more money any day of the week for quality work. I myself and Hispanic, but I was born in Texas, and I feel like only hard working Americans should reap the benefits of this country.
I find it funny you say "I get work because I'm white and people can understand me" then 2 sentences later, "Moving to wear I can get English speaking workers...". I understand what you're saying, but I do find it funny when people use this logic and then use the wrong words thus making their arguments and points hold less validity as you are showing you cannot speak or understand the language much better than these illegals. One important part of any job, checking your work before being finished, this should be applied to arguing points on political or any topic really online where typing and your spelling and grammar is all people have to base their judgement of you. Just show you actually do a good job by actually rereading and grammar checking.
I understand the "grammar police" thing, but I feel it stands to be pointed out when the argument is calling into account the grammar and language skills of people, including the OP.
All that said, I do my work myself, or find a local contractor who runs his own business to do the work. I find if it is their name on the company, and they are coming and doing the work then it means a lot to them to do a good job and get a good reputation to grow their business.
I was also offered a job driving for a local company, however when I went for the interview I had noticed his entire crew was hispanic. I was the only white guy beside the company owner, and not only was I to drive to the job sites, which required a class B CDL, I was to work with these guys after getting there, He offered $15 an hour, and I said no thanks and walked out. That is how bad these construction jobs have become here that even a paving company that only works part of the year cannot even give a livable wage to their CDL drivers. Point of reference, CDL drivers should not take a job unless it pays a minimum of $50k a year here to start or they are being ripped off. More appropriate pay for CDL jobs is $70k to start here.
Fiotu Dude I know engineers who’s starting salary is 70k a year and you think you deserve that for having a CDL. 🤣
AcidicJO Do you know all the stuff required of a truck driver? You have to inspect the truck and trailor multiple times, you spend long periods away from home, and you have to deal with the morons who can't drive. So yes, truck drivers do deserve that money, else there is no point to doing the job and being out on the road for up to 6 months at a time without going home(I know people who do this).
Truck drivers have stricter laws and consequences, required physical every 2 years, drive in any and all weather conditions, some companies issues penalties for late deliveries. So please, unless you actually understand what you are talking about, don't speak on it.
I also know engineers, ME's and EE's, and their job is simple, they sit at a desk on a computer all day looking at blue prints. Pales in comparison to the required things a truck drivers goes through on a daily basis.
I painted houses to get me through college. I don’t think my kids can do the same nowadays
What if they don't want to work with the public? Customers can be a pain in the ass.
spirittammyk funny you say that . Not that i dont like working with the public but i dont think i can remember who ordered what. I also use the time listening to recorded lectures on my micro cassette recorder thing while painting
Well, I'll tell you one thing, service jobs are also in danger. I used to work at the largest grocery store in Florida, Publix. Worked there for 8 years. 2 more years to go, and I would have been on the road for a very nice retirement, but instead, I get fired for selling alcohol to a minor, but in the end, was an illegal kid with a fake ID, and we don't have an internal system to scan the ID to make sure it's legit. I tried to fight it, but they have that clause that all problems between the company and employees will be settled within the business, so I couldn't even get a lawyer to take it to court to defend myself because of arbitration laws. I go back to the same store I worked at, and noticed they hired two Haitian immigrant workers at half the pay I was getting in my place. Then a friend told me Publix has been on a roll, firing all natural born Americans that were not seeking management positions, or close to their retirement benefits kicking in and replacing them with immigrant workers. Go into the South Florida Publix's and you will see what she was talking about. All the cashiers, stock clerks and truck drivers are immigrants from either the Caribbean Islands or south America, while the managers are Whites born from wealthy homes. And the restaurant business is not looking good either. Pretty much all of cooks, many of the wait staff and bartenders are immigrants. I have a white male American Italian friend who was also fired from Publix and had his job replaced by Haitians, and then he was working at several restaurants and lost those to Hispanic workers...... The Wealthy White class has waged a war on hard working White Middle and Poor class. I guess they can't forgive us for taking away their slaves back in the civil war, so now they are finding a new way to punish us. Charge us with high taxes so they can import low wage workers at slave wages, and then we have to pick up their welfare tabs so they can remain in the US.
Jay Tee I washed windows. Was pretty good money at the time. Had my own business cards too.
No way any of us couldn't "work" our way through college. It costs way too much. Not to mention the cost of living, housing, insurance yada yada
I'm a contractor too and I live in Cali and I agree.i worked in the hot sun side by side for 20 years.and I think there great people but I want to have a secure border
Yes and this goes for all other immigrants as well as Hispanics!!
"Construction" as we called it - used to be a valid career field for all Americans.Fantastic analysis.
am confused what if Americans never kicked Mexicans out of there land when it was stolen am confused
All americans? wait a second, where did you decent from? atleast I can say I'm from Central America. which is probably more american than you. you guys come to another continent and think in your little head that you own it and are more from that land than from the one you originated from, now that right there is hilirious. we all in some form are immigrants so before you judge look in the mirror.
@Aspiring Pyramidbuilder ok well now your losing your deal with it
@@beaminup take a sample of any Mexican blood will see how native we are how back do you want to go pilgrim

I totally agree with you sir ;I myself am an immigrant and firmly believe that something needs to be done; Good video and great speech!👍👍
This guy is right folks! Great video. Well said.
I am a Brit and find your channel very interesting. An insight into the everyday problems some Americans have to deal with.
I love intellectual people who have a passion of the work they do. Thank you for putting this video up.
This is just about the most concise and eloquent dose of common sense I have ever seen posted on this site. 100% irrefutable.
oh yeah? Irrefutable?!? How is this (cut and paste, again for another ignorant person)
The REAL problem is with the policies of the democratic party, not the immigration laws.
Firstly, take minimum wage, guess what? By implementing minimum wage laws, everyone's rent goes up - even for your illegal immigrant employees working "under the table". The price of everything else, like food and utilities go up. Then your taxes go up to pay for building affordable housing. These increased taxes always leads to people moving out of the city to more affordable places, which leads to taxes going up even more for those who stay in the city... Then there's the fatherless epidemic in our communities which would not be the huge problem that it currently is if the democratic based social programs to "help" single parent homes didn't exist. That increases your taxes even more. Statistics show that crimes go up as single parent households goes up, so guess what? More taxes you pay to police them. With fathers, these kids would be raised better, and then instead of joining gangs in your city, they'd be part of the work force that you'd be hiring, and again, with the proper upbringing of a two parent household, they'd do a good honest job and not steal your tools. You'd be paying legal citizens the same amount that you pay the ILLEGAL immigrants AND you'd be paying less taxes. The illegal immigrants don't steal your tools and are such "great workers" because you have them over a barrel with the threat of deportation. I could go on, but I think I made my point.
Thanks for pointing out what a lot of us against illegal immigration know. My husband is also a painter by trade and he also deals with the same issues.
Very well said brother. Thank you for doing your part in making this a great country!
This guy is articulate, intelligent and makes a strong argument. Too bad that this rational view will have him labeled as a racist. That's satirical but also not, he said the word respect a dozen times, yet where will the respect he gives be at for him?
Thankfully, I'm getting respect from people like you Thanks for watching. I hope you subscribe.
Blue Collar Logic I did and I am glad to hear that. The media has forgotten that there is 46 million people like me who are registered to vote but didn't last election as ironically being in the center with the ability to see through bull larky is now somehow a bad thing. Been binge watching all morning and enjoying. Do you have a Patreon?
My brother and I are in the same boat. Painting since 87, no employees. We do it all from start to finish. I never see any young guys even coming up when I'm at the paint store.
I know. In the eighties it was a bunch of young white contractors and a lot of older white contractors - passing on the tips and tricks. Now you can't get hired in a paint store unless you speak Spanish.
Nailed it! My experience working alongside Hispanics has been much the same. Completely agree with sealing our border and controlling the influx into our country the right way. This is not a racial issue but one of common sense.
Thanks, Gary. I hope that you'll subscribe. We need all the smart critical-thing people we can get. These threads get so invaded by the small-minded.

Thanks, Neil. Check out our channel.
Awesome presentation! I was a general contractor in L.A. and did a one man band thing as well and had a hard time getting work because the illegals would constantly underbid me. How I DID get a lot of work was getting calls from the same people that thought I was too expensive initially to come back and FIX the work the cheap labor did! In the end, they found you get what you pay for. And when I got the call-back, my price went WAY up!
I have been called in SO many times to fix bad work. Often started by a nephew.
Questfortruth Smile and add the zeros.
That’s known as a win win!
I am MexicanAmerican and you are telling the the truth. At fist i thought this guy (your video) is going to laced with a racist rant talking smack, but i was wrong. Thank you for posting this.
I to am American Mexican. 59 years old, witnessed our American culture change ever so slowly in Phoenix, Arizona. The change is devastating. We as Americans have allowed men and women to be voted into positions whom benefited personally instead of looking after their people. The love of money and power for personal gain has ruined our traditions, family structures, faith in the documents our countrymen have died for, public civility, respect for fellow Americans.
Until we fight to win back the hearts of our youth and instill the value of true freedom, integrity, free to speak openly of our love of God.....we must begin to relentlessly take back what is ours as American citizens, take back our schools.....be examples once again....another revolution if we must....our country is worthy of another.....
Margaret Norvell actually there is, in particularly if you have dual citizenship as I do.
Margaret Norvell it’s baffling how you make such remarks about us being the only ethnic group that refuses to speak English when we’re clearly communicating here in non other language THAN English lol
Eddie B. "German Nazi Killers" is a far worse label than "lazy." And actually, your comment that "you people" are "always seeking to label people of color" is also much more insulting. Don't tell me that Mexicans don't have negative labels and racist ideas. You just proved they did.
And the reason for the idea that you are unwilling to learn English is because no other ethnic group coming to the US has required so many directions and signs to be in their language. They haven't required so many help and support lines to be in their language when calling a company, legal or emergency services. That is why SOME think that. Personally, I do not think Mexicans are lazy. I think they don't learn English because they are going back and forth over the border and don't have a real commitment to learn. Also, I think the ones that are living here illegally don't want to attend lessons because they don't want to draw suspicion. It could also be that some of the illegals are just disrespectful, as well, and don't care. I mean, crossing a border illegally would indicate a disrespectful personality in an individual, wouldn't it?
katty kleo ( hilarious 😂 ) crossing a border illegally might indicate a little more than a mere disrespectful personality ! How about Evading Starvation ? Political asylum ... ( trying to stay alive , evading being murdered ) just to mention a few. What about your fore fathers coming over here on The Mayflower w/ Bible in hand and shortly thereafter betraying the American Indain by systematic murder & Starvation ?? You have a polite answer for that ?
I started framing in 1989 framing for my stepdad who was the contractor for around 50 years . By the time I was 18 in 1993 was making about 17 bucks an hour . By 2006 I was making $34 an hour and had my own crews . By 2008 there are no crews framing except for Mexicans , because they were able to bid everything so cheaply that I couldn't touch it .
Thank you to everybody who was part of ruining millions of hard-working people's lives . Framing was a job that I did want and did enjoy . Now I do remodels and rehabs and investor properties , I don't make nearly as much as I did but I still eek out a living . now you just get the morons out there that think that everything should be done in a day and you take out cabinets with sledgehammers . Thanks HGTV .
Yea, I get very irritated when home owners can't understand why I am taking so long. I've learned that if you push your body at 110% all of the time it's like redlining your car engine all of the time. Somethings going to break soon. You have to pace yourself a little bit. My last customer would jab at me with little jokes about how I need to take a day off after moving 80lb bags of concrete and 5" to 10" river rocks by myself at the age of 45. And, this woman has probably never lifted a bag of concrete in her whole life. Jeesh. The nerve of some people. Every time you hire an illegal mexican you are hurting the economy and taking money away from a deserving american family.
Let them buy a fix and flip and see how easy it is, most people lose money. HGTV leaves out all the drudgery. And, forget about doing it the right way and getting it perfect. The people that buy those houses end up fixing all the problems, but they get the granite counter tops!
Illegals wont work cheap anymore..they're recognizing their skills are in demand and will walk in search of higher wages. Its reach that point now.
Dr website I hear you I see it 5days a week from painting framing the stucco landscape plumbing electrician illegals 90 percent empty beer bottles it's all hear
I framed and trimmed for thirty years and by the mid 2000's I was just working at repairing all the major mistakes done by the low skilled workers. Walls out of plumb three and a half inches, rooms without doorways to get in, doors hung backwards, toilets in the middle of hallways, rooms a foot and a half out of square, entire sets of trusses set in the wrong order......the list goes on.
Anglo house painter in South Texas here. Work by myself and have had the exact same thoughts! So well said! Hard to bid a job competitively when we are paying taxes and insurance while illegals are not. Thank you for this!
I have a relative who grew up in the midwest and did chores around the house as children. She married an architect and moved to LA. They raised 5 kids - none of them did chores because their mom hired illegals to do all the work. She ruined her own kids out of love. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The reason that axiom has been around for so long, is because it is true.
The point is immigration depresses wages. While the wealthier get most of the benefit of reduced costs, cheap nannies and gardeners, and profit from low wage workers, the lower end of society pays most of the costs. One of those costs is wage stagnation like he talks about. Other costs are crime, long waits at the emergency room, increased costs for education, greater competition for social services, social fragmentation, and lack of social trust - all disproportionately paid by citizens who are poor and middle class. The rich keep illegal immigration going because they profit. Most other people lose.
I disagree with your point here, John. I'm on your side, but hear me out - So long as the worker is volunteering to work for the agreed wage, the lower that wages are, the lower the cost of the product. Everybody wins. Ideally a job could be done by a machine with almost no labor cost, like the combine harvester which does the work of 1000 men. The problem is that illegals (the plethora of other problems that being "illegal" entails aside) don't pay taxes and frequently take handouts. This gives them an unfair advantage where they can do their jobs at an unreasonably low wage.
Actually, unregulated immigration does exactly that. Democratic countries are not toilets for third world dictators and criminals to dump people.
People like Ann Coulter have been saying this for decades and they are despised for giving facts and telling the truth.
So the problem is rich people? I agree. Cheap skate rich people love paying shit wages. Also cheap skate middle class people....same deal.
This guy nailed it. I immigrated ( legally) to nyc in 1998 from Eastern Europe ( Albania)and got a part time job in a catering hall. They started me at $65 a shift and in a year I was getting paid $75. On the books ,most guys working there were Italian Americans . I recently went back to that same catering hall and asked for a job .20 years later they pay $45 a shift and in cash since all their workers now are undocumented immigrants ( my good friend manages the place that’s how I know this ). I went back expecting to make at least $100 a shift now since 20 years had past and I’m paying $1900 a month in rent instead of $600 I was 20 years ago. When I worked there I was only one of two immigrants everyone else was American born . I also remember Americans washing dishes and cleaning the bathrooms as well .So it’s not that Americans won’t do certain jobs it’s that illegal immigrants are willing to do those jobs for a lot less out of desperation. They also live 20 people in a one bedroom apt out of desperation therefore can afford to work for less. That’s what illegal immigration is doing.
You're not over run.
Ur European different rules apply
"I immigrated ( legally) to nyc"
He clearly stated he is a legal US citizen. Stop trying to create false problems by twisting the truth
The only person to blame is the asshole paying someone $45 a shift. That's ILLEGAL since most folks here care more about legality than MORALITY.
its sad how these people are oppressing us. And that's really it, illegal immigrants are waging a war against legal Americans not only in our wages, but demographics-wise. They want to "re-take" the southwest because they believe it's still "theirs".
Well presented and spoken. A thoughtful and non hostile way of putting his views and opinions across. I really enjoy listening to this guy. 🇬🇧💓🇺🇸✌
OMG this video is unbeleivable. Just pure common sence and logic.
Tell me what about this video you disagree with. I love people like you who insult people who disagree with them but never have facts. He doesn't have issues with the illegals themselves. He just has issues with illegals freezing his wages and the crappy work ethic of Americans, because we don't "need to" because of the inflow if cheap illegal labor. And although he contradicts our president who famously says "they're not sending their best people" He feels some of the really good people that come here illegally would be an asset to their broken countries and when these "good people" come here those broken companies remain broken. But Trump hating liberals like you (I'm just guessing, don't know for sure) can't figure it out.
The problem isn't illegal immigration it's illegal hiring. Why aren't the employers who hire them getting arrested and getting fined or going to jail, since they're breaking the law by hiring undocumented workers?
We Americans want our low prices and then whine when companies drive labor costs down by hiring undocumented workers or sending the work overseas where it can be done for a fraction of the cost.
JM S- You get it! Whether or not everyone agrees on a wall, we all know there has to be more to it, and it's about protecting jobs and pay levels, not the few criminals that get in. If Trump pushed the enforcement of existing laws and the protections already in place, it would take a lot of the political rhetoric and divisiveness out of the current morass.
@UCDcr32tdlOiXfEes0lcwnqw- sorry but, immigration and minimum wage are two different and separate issues. That's the consequences of entering and working in the US illegally, they have absolutely no workplace protections against pay, safety, or hours.
Most Americans want the minimum wage to keep up with the cost living. And the employers who hire illegals for lower wages and not being penalized for it is a huge part of the problem.
You dont think before you speak.
Simply because California protects illegal immigrants and will not arrest me even if I go to police stating that I hired illegal immigrants. Actually where should i go and whom should i tell to get arrested?
Hello Dave. Somehow I came upon a video or two by you. You are an excellent speaker. And you have good common sense. This particular subject (illegal immigration) you have presented without bias or prejudice. Your facts can’t be disputed. I’m glad to have discovered you. Please keep up the good work.
Tom Williams... Thanks Tom.
This is the 1st time I've heard a rational, coherent thought on illegal immigration. Thought provoking from someone actually 'on the ground' . Dave thank you , you've got my attention.
I am in the Custon Home Design/Build industry in the Houston area and I can vouch for everything you said on your video. there are 4 million people living in the greater Houston area and it has been estimated that around 700,000 to 900,000 are illegal immigrants, for the most part they are honest, hard working people. on the negative side a large percentage of them do not obey the traffic laws and if you are involved in an accident with one of them it is almost guaranteed they will flee, due to the fact that they do not have a drivers license or insurance, and they fear being jailed or sent back to Mexico. I have experienced this first hand 3 times in the last 15 years. The answer to this problem is to seal the border and have an orderly immigration system in place.
Yes! But the dems are doing their best to ruin this country and make it a third world country instead!
They are not honest by any stretch of the imagination. Being here illegally is a crime.

Great video! I agree with you 100%. My wife and I have both worked with Hispanics for over 30 years. They are great and hardworking people. But we need ALL immigrants to come through the front door. Why is that so hard for some people to understand?
AmerQuin I don't think you understand: USA does NOT need any immigrants. Illegal or lega, both are bad for the economy and the american people.
Agree 100%
Because your government would not let us come through the front door, that's why we are illegals.
Then you can talk cannibalism.
Exactly something similar to the native Americans and the English.
I'm a licensed solar tech. When I first got into solar in 2007 pay rates were about 25 an hour starting. After a few more years I was making 30. But then it happened, companies brought in illegals and the tech lay offs began. First company I worked for 4 years. After that rates dropped like a stone in a lake. I couldn't stay in a company for more then 3 or 4 months. 2 more years passed by and I was making 16 an hour. By the time I left starting wage was at 11/12 and not a single person on my crew spoke any english, and none of these people are licensed solar techs. They only know what to do for that day by following orders. Now I work with bees, and am highly allergic, but my family needs me and my support and I'll do anything in my power for them. We need this country fixed asap.

Casual Agent this
Thanks for the info...everyone thinks it's only Hispanics....
Speaking to the choir here. I'm 40 years old and have been working along side Hispanic immigrants for the last nearly 20 years of my construction experience. It is absolutely not Americans won't do the job. It is that Americans won't do the job for 12 dollars an hour, and thanks to the influx of workers that's what we look at. You are absolutely right, I've seen it personally and worked with the guys doing it for years, you have 5 to 10 illegals living in a cheap place paying 200 a month each for rent and bills combined so they are fine with making 12 an hour, they are not trying to support a family in America at those wages. They are supporting a family in Mexico for that. 12 dollars an hour is a super good money when your family, wife and 2 or 3 kids costs less than 3 dollars a day at home in Mexico.
I can also say that I highly respect some of the guys ive worked with through the years. More than 1 sent all his extra money home to Mexico, then after 6 to 8 years in America, they went home as well, at which point they opened businesses in Mexico. These people are pretty well welcome to me, other than the undeniable suppression of wages they inevitably cause.
Just curious. If you left a savings jar of coins out and every illegal you “respect” took out just one coin a day until the jar was complete empty, and then they suddenly disappeared, would you still “respect” them then?
I like this video a lot makes a lot of sense. there are times where I drive by brand new housing construction sites on a Saturday and these unmarked white extended Vans with pull up and all these South Americans would jump out and they be doing carpentry work roofing siding masonry work sheetrock at said to myself wait a minute this stuff is what we can do this is what we want to do and the Democrats and Republicans keep on pushing that narrative that Americans don't want to do this kind of work. the politicians are just lying through their teeth they will never have to compete with a South American for a job they won't have to worry about them taking their job just like news reporters at CNN and MSNBC they don't have to worry about Mexicans coming in and taking a reporter's job at a cheaper rate it won't happen so they're really very generous with giving our jobs away when it don't affect them.

It's always the same lie. They do the jobs we won't. I have been a plumber for 13 years. If you see bow a lot of these people live its crazy. I have been to apartments full of Mexicans I'm talking a 1 bedroom apartment with 8 Mexicans living in it. If i try that I would be kicked out immediately. We compete with the fact most of them don't pay taxes most of them get medical care without a problem. Not to mention if they are making low ball $400 a week and Sending that money most of that money back to Mexico where that $400 value is more like $1600 most Americans would gladly work for that kind of money
"Seal the damn border!" Got that right.
I wish more republicans express their ideas in this fashion. You are able to convey your message without being condescending, You were thoughtful, concise, reasonable and most important impartial (racially). This type of dialogue is what can help people come towards the center and allow extreme left and rightist to remain out on the fringes in small insignificant groups. I really do appreciate what you have done with this dialogue. Thank you.
Thank you, Odell. I really am trying to have a reasonable discussion of the issues. People are so into winning these days that they won't give an inch.
Yeah......I don't know that the most important part was "impartial (racially)" as you say.
Yet, he’ll still be called a racist. Just watch.

This guy's making too much sense. Must be a nazi.
Sounds like the real problem is that we allow businesses and owners of them to get away with hiring illegals to pay half wages. Seems like we should go after the scumbags who are avoiding paying real wages to people who have social security numbers. No need for a wall if we brutally enforce the laws that these employers are getting away with not obeying. I imagine after a few of these guys lose their homes and businesses your problem will be solved. Makes a lot more sense punishing a couple rich people then going after thousands of poor ones. After that you have no more undocumented jobs and these people have no reason to be here anymore.
Looks like Alex jones got some competition in the crazy nutso channel
Klaa2 agreed, I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed the dog whistles as well
You all act as though those illegals don’t know what they are doing and are blameless....they are not and they know exactly what they are doing, takes a real idiot to not see how intentional this is, they talk about “reconquista” out in the open public here in Colorado, it’s not just the business owners
