This is about people allegedly voting against their self-interests. The blue collar Hispanics, especially in border towns, trended towards Trump. They know the people coming over the border are not coming to work at Nvidia. They are coming to work at the warehouse, restaurant, construction site, whatever, that they work at. They ain't coming for my job. They are coming for theirs. That's one reason they voted the way they voted. This isn't rocket surgery. Nor is it disparaging those coming over the border looking for a better life.
There is a huge labor shortage at any price.
Service sector jobs around here are hard fucking jobs because they are understaffed. They won't be able to pay less with more labor available, they just will be able to staff appropriately and not run their current employees into the dirt.
I'm not talking about cutting into overtime - I mean that even with copious overtime, businesses are understaffed.
We just remodeled the Tahoe place - it was really hard getting trades in order to do the job. I ended up using a couple family friends from Colorado who came to Tahoe to do the inside work, and I had to schedule them 7 months in advance.
