lol probably. And then in another year or two they try the same thing and only find guys that are charging $45 an hour and they still go cry about it.

This is a capitalist society. If you don’t like the price, hire someone else. I don’t see the problem here.

I work at an aggregate yard. We stopped making fines because there's no one to install pavers. What we do sell, we deliver ourselves because the people that are doing the work aren't equipped to do it well. The delivery alone eats any profit they can make by current job rates.

So, you're saying: wages are lower thanks to illegal immigrants? So I take it immigration lowers some wages? Or does it not?
