No, that's true all over the country. It's merely pro-illegal propaganda that Americans can't be found to do manual labor jobs for a fair wage. Businesses that hire illegals like to use that as a bogus excuse though and so do the defenders and supporters of illegal immigration. They have no other defense and you can see right though it.

I doubt you can find any Americans working in the heat we have here my observation of laborers. It has lot to do with the sub contractors who can bid the lowest price. Everything comes down to money, and profits large corporations don't want anything changed.

Arizona requires E-verify to get around that contractors hire sub-contractors who lot of the time the owner is illegal I'm referring to large companies not mom and pop. Landscapers most are illegals doing it on their own. Even the larger licensed landscape contractors still use illegal labor. Your just putting more profits into the contractors pocket. Might as well just hire illegal landscaper to do the work. I mostly do my own landscaping not remodeling a pool I had to hire a contractor to do that. He sent illegals to do the work typical.

If I were in TX or AZ, I'd want my taxes paying for this. It's better than using taxes to have CRT in schools or taxes used to give illegals free telephones and free healthcare.

Same thing here in Calif. though on a reduced level from what it use to be and it's not because Americans don't want to do those jobs anymore for a fair wage it's because of employers wanting cheap, illegal labor and there is an abundant supply of them.

Amazing liberal lunacy knows no limits …. The first “legal hurdle to come here legally” is now accomplished by successfully climbing over walls.
There should be no "legal hurdle" to allow asylum claimants into our country before their claims are verified either. Many if not most just disappear into our country and don't even show up for their hearings. Statistically 80% of them are making bogus claims and therefore it makes no sense not to make them wait outside our country and their claims investigated for legitimacy first.

As intended. You have to remember that leftists are trying to harm this country. Flooding the nation with foreign criminals is just one more way to do so.

Of course. There are a lot of unethical contractors willing to violate the law to line their pockets, and undercut legitimate ones. That is what hiring foreign criminals does-it harms honest American businesses-and American workers.

Oh but the pro-illegals claim they are just doing the jobs that Americans won't do. They leave out the part that Americans won't do them for less than a fair wage. With the abundant supply of cheap, illegal labor Americans couldn't get those jobs in the first place and many of them had to leave those jobs because their wages were reduced. The construction industry is flooded with illegal Spanish speakers so there is a language barrier now to.

Then they will just return again in the next caravan. Sending them to DC and to liberal states lets those liberals experience for themselves the ravages of illegal immigration.
