Question:
I asked a person, he is 33-year old African-American and a United Brotherhood of
Carpenters cardholder, to comment on the fate of young black men and women who
might pursue those construction jobs [the ones taken by illegal aliens] . . .
'Some enlist in the military,' Greg said. “The vast majority struggle
to get the few legit jobs out there and make do with whatever they can get. As
for the rest, have you ever wondered why there are one million blacks in
prison?
Answer:
An old buddy of mine was in the construction biz. He had two companies;
Quality masonry and Quality concrete. I worked for the masonry Co. My pal
met a guy who said he could get him a complete crew of Mexican concrete
workers, laborers and finishers. This worked fine for him for a while even
though he had to lay off all his American concrete crew. His concrete biz
soon doubled and doubled again. Not only did he pay them much less than his
old crew but he rented a house to them at way over market value and took
care of their shopping and transportation needs which he deducted from their
pay. Virtual slave labor.
Then one day two of the guys over-turned a truck full of concrete forms on a
busy street right on some lady's car, KILLING HER.
The Mexicans hopped right on a bus before the cops even got there and went
to the airport and flew to Texas and disappeared. Over the next few months
the INS and the IRS picked this guy apart and he went bankrupt. I think he
should be in jail but who do you think he blames?
It's the same for corporations that reduce jobs to steady bottom lines.
In so doing, they dry up the buying power of the people let go and the
cycle continues.
All around Long Island, resident complaints of masses of illegal "day laborers"
hanging out on residential streets, waiting to be picked up by contractors and
landscapers, have prompted 2 towns to build "day laborer shape-up facilities"
using our tax dollars.
