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.

I never said it made sense. Yet it is obviously an issue or else we would not see immigration as being such a hot topic.

Maybe you should have hired a union contractor....

I hope not, but it would not surprise me if Latino American citizens are profiled as illegals and taken to camps or even deported. It has happened multiple times in the past.

300,000+ kids and DHS doesn't know where they are.
Kids assaulted, raped, murdered and somebody is pissed they can't find a trades person.
100+ people on the terrorist watch list and we need more unvetted immigrants to work the pork processing plants.
People have to wait too long at McDonalds. We need unvetted immigrants.
😭😭😭😭

Let's cut government spending and let the free market sort it out.

You say your big problem is with "unvetted" immigrants. There is an easy solution.

Expand the number of people who can come through via a process in which they are vetted! Then there will be no incentive to come through unvetted, because you can be easily vetted. So you don't have to worry about unvetted immigrants and you can go get your big mac.

But you don't really care about whether they are vetted or not. You don't want them here either way.

Well, maybe they will think differently next election. Or not. Hope he ships them all off. That'll show 'em!

Pay livable union wages and you may have people calling you to do the job.

The easy solution was voting the architects of the border chaos out of office.

Or maybe the Dems, if they think legal immigration is such an important issue, could have addressed the border when they had the WH, the Senate and the House.

Sad that you do not want to pay a living wage to workers!

See Tempo, this is how the 1% stay the 1%. Stiffing the workingman and workingwoman!
